Acute attacks of gout are mainly treated with drugs such as colchicine, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and glucocorticoids.
1. Colchicine: small doses of colchicine can be used to relieve symptoms during acute gout attacks.
2. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: commonly used are indomethacin, diclofenac, etoricoxib and so on, which can effectively relieve the symptoms, but also need to be alert to the possibility of gastrointestinal ulcers or bleeding, as well as the cardiovascular system adverse reactions.
3. Glucocorticosteroids: When colchicine and NSAIDs are ineffective or contraindicated, glucocorticosteroids such as prednisone acetate can be used for short-term treatment in small doses.
It is recommended that patients with acute attacks of gout consult a doctor for timely treatment, standardized diagnosis and treatment under the guidance of a doctor, and avoid self-medication, so as not to delay the condition or adverse reactions.
