The best medicine for gout

Once gout develops in the patient's body, it is very difficult to cure, and the recurrence rate of gout is very high. Therefore, gout patients must be mentally prepared. Gout is mainly a disease caused by excessive uric acid in the patient's body, so gout is closely related to the patient's eating and living habits. In the process of treating gout, patients should choose different drugs according to their own conditions. What drugs are most effective in treating gout?

Gout is very easy to relapse, so correct treatment of the disease is the key. The treatment methods for patients in the acute gout period and intermittent gout period are different, so we should treat the disease in a targeted manner. If the patient is in the acute phase of the disease, anti-inflammatory drugs, colchicine, and ibuprofen can be used. In fact, the most effective drug for treating gout is colchicine, but this drug has relatively large side effects. Once gouty arthritis develops into a chronic disease, it is very difficult to recover. If not treated in time, it will affect the kidneys and joint functions. Therefore, timely treatment of the disease is key.

Patients should also note that gout is a heterogeneous disease mainly caused by uric acid excretion disorders or purine metabolism disorders. What we want to treat the disease is mainly to control hyperuricemia and quickly relieve acute attacks, which can effectively prevent chronic arthritis, joint deformities and other problems. Therefore, if we want to completely cure the disease, we should still treat the symptoms in the acute phase and treat the root cause in the remission phase.

Patients in daily life should also pay attention to eating less foods rich in purine, such as fish, shrimp, crabs, etc., and should also avoid meat intake, and reduce or avoid the use of peas. Don't be too fat in normal times, and the carbohydrate content in food should not be too high. Patients should pay attention to drinking more water, more than 2000 ml per day.

That’s all we have to say about which medicine is most effective for treating gout. If we find that we have gout, we should go to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid the gout from getting worse. Some gout drugs nowadays may be harmful to the patient's body, so we must consult our attending physician before taking the medicine and not abuse the medicine.
