In the acute stage of gout, diclofenac, colchicine and other drugs are used to reduce inflammation and pain, and relieve symptoms. In remission, drugs that inhibit the production of uric acid can be used, such as allopurinol and febuxostat, and drugs that promote the excretion of uric acid, such as benzbromarone, can also be used to reduce uric acid. If necessary, the gout stone can be removed by surgery, and the joint deformity can be corrected by surgery.
