Medications for Gout

Medications used to treat and prevent gout attacks.

Gout is a common type of inflammatory arthritis that leads to pain, swelling, and redness in one or more joints, often starting in the big toe or lower limbs. Gout flares can occur suddenly, typically at night, and the pain can be intense. These flares usually last for a week or two, and in between flares, you may not experience any symptoms. Over time, if gout is not treated, flares may become more frequent and last longer, potentially leading to hard deposits of uric acid under the skin, known as tophi, which can cause joint damage. Gout occurs when there is too much uric acid in the body, often due to diet, certain health conditions, or medications. There are various prescription medications available to help manage gout and reduce pain during flares. It’s important to talk with your doctor about which treatment option is best for you.
