There are plenty of gout medications on the market that work best depending on the stage and severity of your gout condition. Here is a list of all the different medicinal gout treatments available:

1. NSAIDs also known as Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs - This is usually what your doctor starts you on to help ease inflammation and pain. The most well known of this type is called Indomethacin.

2. Colchicine - This medicine was created to help prevent future attacks and to help relieve certain gout symptoms. You can take this medication a couple of different ways.

You can take it over a long period of time with low dose or you can take it over a short amount of time with higher doses. If you plan to go with this gout medication I highly recommend you also treat your gout through diet.

3. Corticosteroids - This medication is usually reserved for those who, for some reason, cannot take NSAIDs or colchicines.

One of these adrenocorticotropic hormones is called Prednisone and is usually given as an injection into the muscle.

4. Allupurinol - This medication prevents gout symptoms by helping the body keep uric acid levels low.

5. Probenecid - Usually referred to as Probalan or Benemid, this type of medication is usually prescribed for chronic gout sufferers. It works by helping the kidneys eliminate more uric acid.

6. Colbenemid - This medication is a combination of Colchicine and Probenecid. Therefore, this drug helps prevent future attacks and also treats the gout directly.

7. Sulfinpyrazone - This medication is best known as Anturane and works by helping your body maintain a healthy uric acid level and preventing a condition known as gouty arthritis.

8. Losartan - This drug also helps lower uric acid levels, but it isn't just used for gout. It is used more for hypertension. It is commonly known as Hyzaar and Cozzar.

9. Analgesics - These are pain and fever reducers and work well when your gout attacks leave you in a lot of pain.

If you are still on the lookout for the best treatment for your gout, you really should consider your diet and how that affects your gout. Also, talking to your doctor about a medication can help aid you in alleviating your symptoms.

By taking control of your lifestyle, diet and medication you can most likely prevent future gout attacks.
