Cornhusk has no therapeutic effect on gout, “cornhusk can cure gout” this claim does not have scientific basis. The treatment of gout, mainly to low purine diet and drug therapy, take the treatment method needs to be combined with the progress of the disease, the use of pain relief and anti-inflammatory drugs or uric acid treatment. The use of drugs, must be under the guidance of a doctor, so as not to delay the course of the disease.
Cornhusk is a relatively common food in life, and can not play the same efficacy and effect as drugs, so cornhusk for gout is not true.
If gout is in an acute attack, the treatment is mainly to relieve pain as well as control inflammation, clinically more commonly used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, there are ibuprofen extended-release capsules, diclofenac sodium extended-release tablets, etc., can relieve the symptoms of acute gouty arthritis. Small doses of colchicine as well as hydrocortisone can be added to the treatment.
If in the chronic or non-acute attack, mainly take uric acid treatment, the drugs are mainly divided into inhibit uric acid production and promote uric acid excretion of drugs, more commonly used are allopurinol tablets, febuxostat tablets, benzene bromalone tablets.
To summarize, cornhusk can not treat gout, the treatment of gout, must be under the guidance of the doctor to carry out targeted treatment, do not do it on their own, so as not to produce adverse consequences.
