Have you asked your doctor if there is another medication you can take?

I have had gout problem after I took this tablet 20 days ago. I suspected it was caused by the medicine. I stopped taking it today to see if the gout problem will go away in the next few days. This medicine was suggested by a kidney specialist three weeks ago. He found that my kidney was fine but my blood pressure was high (159).

Hi,

It might be worth drinking a glass of cherry juice every day. It was recommended to my hubby by someone who had a transplant 25 years ago and suffered from gout.

For the last six years it has kept it at bay. Good Luck.

Thanks, but I am diabetic.

Eating celery every day keeps my gout at bay. And if I have the occasional flare up I make a juice of a whole packet of celery, a long cucumber, a thumb of raw ginger and juice of 2 lemons. Sip all day. This should be okay for diabetes I think.
