Can ibuprofen be safely used in patients with gout and how does it compare to other medications in managing gout-related pain and inflammation?
Ibuprofen can be used to manage gout pain and inflammation, but it’s less effective than NSAIDs like indomethacin or steroids for acute flares.
Ibuprofen is safe for gout symptomatic relief. However, for acute attacks, medications like colchicine, corticosteroids, or specific NSAIDs might be preferred for better efficacy.
While ibuprofen helps reduce gout pain and swelling, it’s not as potent as colchicine or corticosteroids and may be better for mild cases.
