NSAID's: Anti inflammatory medication such as Indocin (indomethacin) or even steroids are beneficial in calming down gout flares. Monitoring your diet may help as well.

Question 2

Tequila and gout : No one is going to recommend that you drink alcohol to treat gout. With that said, there is evidence that tequila helps your kidneys get uric acid out. On the other hand, alcohol dehydrates you, which is bad for gout.

Question 6

what meds is good for gout or ulcera?

Accepted Answer

Several meds: For acute gout attacks, colchicine, nsaids, and Prednisone can be helpful. Long term prevention of attacks is done with allopurinol. I've seen literature suggesting that titrating Allopurinol to a uric acid level of 5.5 or lower as a goal to prevent "silent" joint damage. Ulcers are treated with ppi's like Omeprazole and either "triple" or "quadruple" therapy.

Question 9

is heat in pad or any form of heat good for gout?

Accepted Answer

I believe so: I believe it helps dissolve ur ate crystals and often recommend warm water soaks for gout in the feet.

Question 10

what is a good colchcicine dosage for a gout flare? thank you?

Accepted Answer

: One regimen that has been used successfully is with 0.6 mg tablets. Take 2 to start and then 1 tab every hour until relief of pain or diarrhea occurs. Although I have prescribed this regimen in the past, I think a more civilized treatment is with indomethacin, 50 mgs every 8 hours with food. Usually 3 doses do the trick.
