Tired of gout attacks. any cure?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Control is possible: You need an evaluation to define the correct diagnosis and if it is gout you need long term therapy to lower the uric acid in your blood - ideally below 6 mg. Life style changes may also help. While anti-inflammatory medications can stop acute attacks, and Colchicine can help prevent attacks and sometimes used to treat acute attacks - you need urate lowering therapy long term.

I have gout. I was prescribed indomethacin. It works wonders, but i think it may be causing vision changes and tiredness. I am also on sertraline (just upped from 50mg-100), allopurinol and vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine). Suggestions?
Good day. for the past few years I've had the odd acute gout attack, 1-2 per year. since late last year it has been consistent and I can't exercise. Coltracine only helps symptoms and doesn't cure it. My diet has seen positive changes
