Do you have acute or chronic gout? There are medication options after bloodwork tests for chronic gout.

Some managed care institutions probably have specific guidelines.
In general, acute attacks are treated with anti-inflammatories , steroids, or a medicine called colchicine. Long term management depends on uric acid levels. And that may involve diet modification and medicine modifications and a medicine called allopurinol.
