Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS)
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) reduce pain and inflammation. There are numerous over-the-counter NSAIDS in modest doses and prescription NSAIDS in higher doses. The gastrointestinal adverse effects of NSAIDS include diarrhoea, nausea, and stomach ulcers. In uncommon instances, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can also cause liver or kidney damage. Some commonly used NSAIDs for gout include:
The drug Ketoprofen
Aspirin Ibuprofen Naproxen
The drug Indomethacin
The drug Celecoxib
The antibiotic Colchicine
Colchicine, also known as colcrys, is primarily prescribed to treat gout. Colchicine prevents the uric acid in the organism from crystallising. If a person consumes colchicine immediately following the onset of acute gout symptoms, swelling and pain can be significantly reduced. Occasionally, physicians prescribe daily colchicine to prevent future gout attacks. However, the consumption of colchicine is associated with adverse effects such as diarrhoea, vomiting, and nausea. Colchicine is typically prescribed to individuals who cannot tolerate NSAIDs.
