Gout Treatment
Medical treatments
There are two categories of gout medications on the market, each addressing a different issue. The first form of gout medication reduces the pain and inflammation caused by gout attacks. By decreasing the amount of uric acid in a person’s blood, the second class of medications prevents gout complications. The type of medication prescribed to a patient is determined by the severity and frequency of the patient’s symptoms, as well as any other health issues the patient may have.
If you experience multiple gout attacks each year or if your gout attacks are becoming less frequent but more agonising, your doctor may recommend medications to reduce your risk of gout complications. If you have evidence of joint injury from gout, tophi, kidney stones, or chronic kidney disease, then medications that reduce uric acid levels in the blood are your best option.
Medication inhibiting the production of uric acid
Medications including febuxostat and allopurinol aid in reducing the quantity of uric acid produced by the body. Allopurinol side effects include hepatitis, kidney issues, rash, and fever. The adverse effects of Febuxostat include nausea, minimal liver function, and rash. Consistent consumption of febuxostat may also increase the likelihood of developing heart-related health issues.
