What are the anti-swelling and pain medications for gout?

Drugs for gout to reduce swelling and pain include colchicine, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and glucocorticoids. 1. Colchicine: small dose of colchicine has a good effect on relieving joint pain, joint swelling and other symptoms in patients with acute attacks of gout, but liver and kidney functions should be tested regularly during the treatment with colchicine. 2. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as etoricoxib and celecoxib can inhibit cyclo-oxygenase to reduce prostaglandin synthesis to play an anti-inflammatory and analgesic role, and gastrointestinal ulcers and hemorrhage should be guarded against during the treatment of NSAIDs. 3. Glucocorticoid: renal insufficiency, colchicine and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs after the treatment of poor results or the existence of these two drugs contraindications in patients can be used as appropriate prednisone acetate, methylprednisolone and other intermediate-acting glucocorticoids for treatment. All of the above drugs should be used under the guidance of a physician, and it is recommended that patients go to the rheumatology and immunology departments of regular hospitals and other related departments for detailed consultation.
