Amoxicillin cannot be taken by gout patients to reduce swelling. Amoxicillin is a broad-spectrum semi-synthetic penicillin, for most disease-causing gram-positive and negative bacteria can play a powerful bactericidal effect, gout is due to urate in the joints and around the deposition, adhesion caused by inflammation, rather than a bacterial infection caused by joint inflammation, so amoxicillin on the gout patients with swollen joints, joint pain and other symptoms do not have a therapeutic effect. Patients with gouty attacks who experience joint symptoms such as swelling and pain can take colchicine, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as celecoxib and etoricoxib for anti-inflammatory and analgesic treatments, and drug-related contraindications should be ruled out prior to use of the drugs. If you suffer from gout, the use of drugs should be under the guidance of a physician, it is recommended that patients to the rheumatology and immunology department of the regular hospital for detailed consultation, do not take the drug on their own.
