Purines and Analgesic Painkillers


Along with specific prescribed medications, it is typically recommended that people with gout reduce their intake of purine-rich foods. Consider though that purines are found in all protein foods and it is not recommended that all purines should be eliminated from a person's diet.
Analgesic painkillers are also used to relieve the intense pain of gout. All of the aforementioned drugs can be used in combination, to control symptoms, prevent future attacks, and maintain healthy uric acid levels.
