Treat gout with anti-inflammatories and urate-lowering therapies, unless such treatment is ineffective or inappropriate
Drugs & Therapy Perspectives, 05/16/2012

Current standard treatments are ineffective, poorly tolerated or inappropriate in some patients, which had promoted the development of new therapies.

Gout is caused by chronic hyperuricaemia and the formation of pro–inflammatory monosodium urate crystals in the joints.
Pain associated with acute gout flares is treated with anti–inflammatories (e.g. NSAIDs, colchicine and corticosteroids).
Chronic gout is managed with urate–lowering therapies (e.g. xanthine oxidase inhibitors).
