What medicine to take when you have a gout attack to get back to normal

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, and uric acid-lowering drugs can be taken to relieve symptoms during a gout attack. However, the specific medication needs to be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.

1. Pain relieving medications

1. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: such as ibuprofen sustained-release capsules, diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets, etc., which can inhibit the activity of prostaglandin synthase, thereby playing an antipyretic and analgesic role, and to a certain extent, can reduce the redness, swelling and pain of the patient's joints;

2. Glucocorticoids: If the patient's condition is more serious, he can also take glucocorticoid drugs such as prednisone acetate tablets or dexamethasone tablets as prescribed by the doctor, which have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects and can help improve uncomfortable symptoms;

3. Uric acid-lowering drugs: such as benzbromarone tablets, probenecid tablets, etc., such drugs can promote uric acid excretion, reduce the level of uric acid in the serum, and then reduce the deposition of urate crystals, which also has a certain effect on controlling diseases.

2. Uric acid-lowering drugs

If you are in the acute phase of gout, it is recommended to relieve the pain in the above ways first. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to adjusting the dietary structure and avoid eating foods high in purines, so as not to aggravate the condition. After the gout is stabilized, it is necessary to actively use urate-lowering drugs, such as allopurinol tablets and febuxostat tablets, which help to maintain uric acid in the body within the normal range and prevent gout recurrence.

In daily life, we should also take measures to keep warm, avoid catching a cold, and pay attention to the combination of work and rest, ensure sufficient sleep time, and try not to stay up late. In addition, it is necessary to go to the hospital for regular check-ups to understand the recovery of the body.
