FEBUXOSTAT vs INDOMETHACIN

I thought I'd share my experience with Uloric here to my fellow gout sufferers. I love wine and craft beer and when I got diagnosed with Gout last year I couldn't believe it. I was 32 years old and I'm a healthy, fit guy. I tried all the tricks in the books like Cherry extract and nothing worked, ke

Just to add some context: I had my first attack about 8 years ago, have read lot of articles about gout, i had only gone 2 times to see a doctor, both times they told me the same thing, change your diet, exercise, and take colchicine and a NSAID like ibuprofen and you will be fine, and i was, so wha

I read some interesting information in a [research paper I posted here about a month ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/gout/comments/ho4wzu/research_on_commerciallyavailable_probiotics_and/), regarding some very successful results in treating hyperuricemia (high uric acid) in rats with a pre/probiotic m

I have a patient who is continuing on a compounded medication of dihydroergotamine 10 mg, indomethacin 50mg, metoclopramide 10mg, and caffeine 30mg. Has anyone heard of this combination or know anymore about it? Not even sure where to start writing this or anything.

I work at an educational institution. Today, I made an indomethacin (placebo) 5mg/mL suspension using placebo powder, sucrose, methylcellulose, and purified water. I thought suspending agent like methylcellulose is going to slow down sedimentation of the placebo powder, but I never expected to see s

Physician here. I saw a pt in clinic today who showed me a pic of a med he took for his back pain (from Mexico). It was a tablet with a steroid(cant remember which one but it was 0.5mg), 25mg indomethacin, and methocarbamol (don’t remember dose). It just got me and one of my partners talking. What
