    Both medications release the purines or proteins that create the uric acid levels. which in turns causes flair ups. There are other alternatives medications that are not nearly as expensive. Over the counter Naproxen sodium approximately 3-4 pills per day. do not take them with other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory meds. Get your doctor to prescribe indomethacin 25MG 4 dollars at Kroger's for 30 use during flair up about 75 mg. quick relief for myself in the past. The uloric has not showed me any promise neither has the allopurinol uloric over 140 dollars the allopurinol 4 dollar prescription at walmart.? Don't tell them if you have insurance it will cost you more. However, not doing anything about gout could shorten your life, if it attacks your kidneys. I have been on allopurinol for along time and my tophies have not ceased from growing and causing irreversible cartilage damage to my hands, feet, knees, hips and elbows. I have tried 300-450 mg of allopurinol and have recently started 80 mg uloric once per day if i do not see any results with in a month i will return to the less expensive allopurinol.
