Gout is a recurrent inflammatory disorder caused by high uric acid levels in the blood (hyperuricemia) which can lead to severe joint pain. Drugs like NSAIDs, glucocorticoids, and colchicine are used to treat acute gout attacks by relieving symptoms. Allopurinol and probenecid are commonly used to manage hyperuricemia long-term by reducing uric acid production or increasing its excretion. Nurses play an important role in properly administering these drugs and educating patients on lifestyle factors that affect gout.
