A member asked:
Could there be a cure for gout ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There is no cure for gout but dietary and lifestyle changes may reduce the attacks of gout. If that is not sufficient, there are several medications that can lower the body's uric acid load to the point where gout attacks are infrequent.
