Arthritis and Gout

Search for the right gout treatment in our online store, or contact us for expert advice.

Gout develops due to high levels of uric acid in the blood, often caused by diet, alcohol consumption, obesity, or certain medical conditions. When uric acid forms crystals in the joints, it triggers intense pain, swelling, heat, and redness—often starting in the big toe but potentially affecting ankles, knees, and fingers.

Flare-ups usually come on suddenly and can last for days. Colchicine is a commonly prescribed treatment for gout attacks. It works by reducing the body’s inflammatory response to uric acid crystals, easing symptoms quickly. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like Naproxen are also effective for pain and swelling.

Can you buy Colchicine or Naproxen over the counter? No — these are prescription-only medicines. An online consultation is required to determine the most suitable treatment for your condition.

In addition to medication, lifestyle adjustments can reduce the frequency of gout attacks. Avoiding foods high in purines (such as red meat, seafood, and alcohol), staying well-hydrated, maintaining a healthy weight, and exercising regularly can help manage uric acid levels.

For people with recurrent gout, long-term treatments like Allopurinol may be recommended to lower uric acid levels over time. However, Colchicine and NSAIDs remain the first line of defence during an active flare-up.
