Gout Ding capsule is a proprietary Chinese medicine composed of Chinese herbal ingredients, and there is no evidence-based medical evidence that it can lower uric acid. It can activate blood circulation, promote circulation and relieve pain during the acute stage of gout, and can be chosen for use when the joints are red, swollen, hot and painful during the acute stage of gout, but it cannot lower uric acid. The most crucial treatment for gout is to lower uric acid, so you can choose drugs that promote uric acid excretion or inhibit uric acid production, such as benzbromarone or febuxostat. The most commonly used drug in clinical practice is febuxostat, which is usually started in small doses. In the process of lowering uric acid, if there are more painful episodes on weekdays, NSAIDs can also be added for a short time to prevent gout attacks. Gout requires long-term uric acid reduction, regular review of uric acid values, liver and kidney function at the rheumatology clinic, and adjustment of drug doses according to the uric acid situation.
