IRIS Clinics in Trivandrum offers expert care for gout, focusing on anti-inflammatory treatments and uric acid-lowering therapies to effectively manage symptoms and prevent flare-ups.
Gout is a prevalent rheumatic disease caused by elevated levels of uric acid in the blood, which leads to the formation of crystals that deposit in the joints. This condition often affects the big toe, causing intense pain, swelling, and redness. Gout is frequently associated with other chronic conditions, such as Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension, and high cholesterol, which can exacerbate its severity.
Our Services
Anti-inflammatory medications
Anti-inflammatory medications are used to reduce pain, swelling, and inflammation during gout and CPPD flare-ups. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen and corticosteroids are commonly prescribed to manage symptoms. These medications help alleviate discomfort, improve joint mobility, and prevent further joint damage by controlling inflammation during acute attacks of these conditions.
Colchicine
Colchicine is a medication commonly used to treat acute gout attacks by reducing inflammation and pain. It works by inhibiting the movement of white blood cells to affected joints, preventing the formation of urate crystals. Colchicine is also used as a preventive treatment to reduce the frequency of gout flare-ups in some patients.
Uric acid-lowering therapies
Uric acid-lowering therapies are used to reduce elevated uric acid levels in the blood, preventing gout flare-ups and long-term joint damage. Medications like allopurinol and febuxostat inhibit uric acid production, while uricosuric drugs like probenecid increase its excretion. These therapies help maintain normal uric acid levels, reducing the risk of recurrent gout attacks.
