Who Is It For
Treatment may be suitable if you have been diagnosed with gout and are experiencing a flare-up, or have been advised by a clinician on how to manage attacks. Because gout can be confused with other conditions, and because treatment needs to take your other medicines and health into account, a clinician's review is important. Starting treatment promptly when a flare begins often helps. If this is your first attack or you're unsure of the diagnosis, you may be advised to be assessed in person.
FAQ
What triggers a gout attack? Flare-ups can be linked to diet, alcohol, dehydration, certain medicines and other factors. Identifying your triggers can help reduce future attacks.
How quickly should I treat a flare-up? Gout flares are often easier to manage when treatment is started early, so it helps to act promptly once symptoms begin.
Can gout be prevented? For people with frequent attacks, longer-term measures and preventive medicines may be appropriate. Speak to a clinician about ongoing management.
