Gout Flare-up

We provide medication to treat flare-ups of gout, a common and painful type of arthritis which causes swelling and discomfort in joints (often toes, knees, elbows, wrists and fingers) 

About Gout:

Gout is a common and painful type of inflammatory arthritis caused by a build-up of uric acid in your bloodstream. Gout usually affects one joint at a time, causing swelling, redness, and severe pain, (often toes, knees, elbows, wrists and fingers). Flares may come and go, and early treatment can help reduce pain and prevent joint damage.
