Do I have to take medicine for gout for a long time Do I still need to take medicine when my condition is stable

People with gout do not necessarily need to take medication for a long time. If it is in the acute attack phase, it is necessary to use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, glucocorticoids, etc. for symptomatic treatment according to the doctor's instructions; If the disease is stable, it may be considered to control the progression of the disease by adjusting the diet and increasing exercise.

1. Acute exacerbation

1. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: such as diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets, meloxicam capsules, etc., such drugs can inhibit the synthesis and release of prostaglandins, so as to achieve analgesic effects;

2. Glucocorticoids: such as prednisone acetate tablets, dexamethasone tablets, etc., these drugs have strong anti-inflammatory effects and have a good effect on relieving joint swelling and pain.

2. Stable condition

1. Adjust the dietary structure: It is recommended to pay attention to a low-purine diet in daily life and avoid eating high-purine foods, such as animal offal, seafood, soy products, etc. At the same time, it is also necessary to quit smoking and alcohol, and reduce the intake of fructose-containing beverages or carbonated beverages to reduce uric acid levels;

2. Increase the amount of exercise: Gradual physical exercise under the guidance of a doctor can help promote the excretion of uric acid in the body and improve physical fitness, but be careful not to exercise vigorously to avoid aggravating joint damage.

Urate-lowering drugs can also be selected to maintain normal blood uric acid levels, commonly used drugs include benzbromarone tablets, probenecid tablets, allopurinol tablets, febuxostat tablets, etc. Due to the large individual differences, the specific medication should strictly follow the guidance of a professional doctor, and do not blindly take the medicine by yourself.
