Alcohol consumption should be avoided after taking gout medication. Drinking alcohol can cause adverse reactions such as elevated blood uric acid level, inhibition of uric acid excretion, and increased metabolic burden on the liver. 1. Causing elevated blood uric acid levels: taking gout medication and drinking alcohol may aggravate gout symptoms, alcohol metabolism process will inhibit the metabolism of uric acid, causing increased blood uric acid levels. 2. Inhibit the excretion of uric acid: alcohol metabolism in the body produces lactic acid, lactic acid increase will inhibit the excretion of uric acid through the kidneys, resulting in a decrease in the excretion of uric acid, triggering hyperuricemia. 3. Increase the metabolic burden on the liver: alcohol is metabolized by the liver, and some of the drugs for lowering uric acid are also metabolized by the liver, increasing the metabolic burden on the liver, which can lead to liver function abnormalities. Gout patients to take medication, must be taken under the guidance of a doctor, during the period should be prohibited from drinking alcohol, usually pay attention to drink more water, do not eat high-purine food such as animal offal, seafood, and so on. It is recommended that gout patients timely rheumatology and immunology consultation, under the guidance of the doctor for standardized treatment.
