I think the best agent of choice in this case is Colchicine. Gouts is a form of  arthritis caused by excess uric acid in the bloodstream. The symptoms are due to the formation of uric acid crystals in the joints and the body's response to them. Colchicine along with indomethacin, ibuprofen, or a corticosteroid is prescribed to relieve an acute attack of gout. Benemid and Anturane increase the urinary excretion of uric acid, and Aloprim breaks down purines before uric acid is formed.
