Abstract

Historically, urate-lowering medication was thought to worsen acute gout flares, but recent evidence suggests that allopurinol (Zyloprim) can be started during an acute flare if it is used in conjunction with an NSAID and colchicine. Patients receiving a urate-lowering medication should be treated concurrently with an NSAID,colchicine, or low-dose corticosteroid to prevent a flare.
