gout medicine

Gout is caused by poorly controlled hyperuricemia over time, high blood uric acid levels, and urate deposits in soft tissues, joints, and kidneys. There are two main classes of drugs for gout patients. The first class inhibits purine production, mainly febuxostat and allopurinol; the second class promotes uric acid excretion, such as benzbromarone. The choice of uric acid lowering drugs should be made by specialists. At the same time, it is necessary to reduce the intake of high purine foods in lifestyle, such as animal viscera, seafood and some meat. It is recommended to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, drink more water every day, and promote uric acid excretion.
