Suggest Medication For Gout

Hi my name is Chris, and I m 42 years old, and I was just told my liver en zines are high, and at a 128 last week. I changed my diet, and started exercising. Now I m having a gout attack in my right foot, so I can t exercise until that clears up. My doctor has told me, once the attack is gone, he will need to be put on a preventative. In the past couple years, I have about 2 flare up s per year, but can control them with some high powered IP to relieve the attack. I was cautioned that it my or could cause damage if taken frequently. Could any of this cause the levels of the liver increasing? What can I do to help this problem? I probably only drink 1-4 alcoholic drinks a week.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
Gout can be treated with medication and diet restriction. For gout you may need medicine like zyloric, allopurinol and newer febuxostat you can start then according to blood uric acid level consulting his treating doctor. Febuxostat is best drug for maintenance therapy of gout. Food to be avoided in diet includes –meat and poultry. The fibre in fruits, vegetables and whole grains may also help carry excess uric acid out of your body.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
