Arthritis prescription drugs

Gouty arthritis (gout) is a disease involving uric acid deposits in the joints. The disorder causes joint inflammation and pain, especially in the joints of the feet and legs. Gouty arthritis may be chronic or acute. Gout is caused by an overproduction of uric acid or a reduced ability of the kidney to eliminate uric acid. Gout most often affects the joints in the feet, particularly at the base of the big toe (podagra). It also commonly affects other joints: the ankle, knee, wrist and elbow. Urate crystals may form in these joints because the joints are cooler than the central part of the body.

The uric acid level in the blood becomes abnormally high when the kidneys cannot eliminate enough uric acid in the urine. Too mach uric acid in the blood can result in urate crystals being formed and deposited in joints. Combining a high-purine diet with alcohol can worsen matters, because alcohol both increases the production of uric acid and interferes with its elimination by the kidneys.

Gouty arthritis is more common in males, postmenopausal women, and people with high blood pressure. Heavy alcohol use, diabetes, obesity, sickle cell anemia, and kidney disease also increases the risk. The condition may also develop in people who take drugs which interfere with uric acid excretion.

Antigout drugs

Colchicine - 0.6 mg tablets.

Colchicine is the traditional first-step treatment. Colchicine is one of the medications that is effective in reducing the pain, swelling, and inflammation associated with acute gout attacks. Usually, joint pain begins to subside after 12 hours of treatment with Colchicine and is gone within 36 to 48 hours. Colchicine is used for prevention and for treatment of attacs.

Uricosuric drugs

Allopurinol - 100 mg, 300 tablets.
Zyloprim - 100 mg, 300 tablets.

Drugs that cause excretion of uric acid in the urine (uricosuric drugs) can be used to lower the uric acid level in the blod (in people who have normal kidney function) by increasing the kidney's excretion of uric acid. Allopurinol (Zyloprim) blocks the production of uric acid in the body and is especially helpful for people who have high blood uric level and urate stones or kidney damage. Patients should drink plenty of water or other fluids to reduce the risk of kidney complications.

As with uricosuric drugs, Allopurinol (Zyloprim) can cause a gout attack when it is first taken. Low-dose Colchicine or an NSAID is usually given at the same time, for a few monthes, to decrease this risk.
