NSAIDs

Many, many men take NSAID for gout. These meds treat gout attacks! They'll even stop them from happening in many, many cases. So many cases! Men, you'll start with OTC meds here. That means ibuprofen and naproxen! Your doc decides when you need prescription NSAIDs. One of the ones they use for gout is celecoxib! Men, you already knew this one. Low doses of daily NSAIDs prevent gout attacks. High doses tackle your symptoms during an attack. You only need that force then!

Men, expect side effects on this med! The common ones are clear here: high blood pressure, fluid retention, and stomach ulcers. Yes, pain in your abdomen too! Your doc'll keep watch on you because of them. Many men also see huge issues with concentration and dizziness on these meds! And men? Pick up the phone to your doc right away for rare side effects. Your eyes need to be peeled for peeing problems, fatigue, and middle back pain. Light sensitivity and blurry vision too! Changing your dose or the med itself helps. And men? Don't take NSAIDs when you've got kidney disease.
