HELO N WELCOME. NO , CLARITHROMYCIN DOES NOT CAUSE GOUT. DIURETIC ASPIRIN NIACIN HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH GOUT BUT NOT BAXIN XL. CAUSES OF GOUT ARE GENETIC LIFESTYLE RELATED N SECONDRY MEDICAL CONDITIONS. KINDLY DESCRIBE UR COMPLETE MEDICAL HISTORY N THE MEDICATION YOU ARE CURRENTLY USING. HOPE THIS HELPS. HAVE A NICE DAY
