Gout & Its Homoeopathic Approach

Abstract

Gout is a metabolic disease that most often affects middle-aged to elderly men and postmenopausal women. This is characterized by pain and swelling of the first metatarsophalangeal joint initially, followed by other joints, with an abnormal elevation of urate level in the body either due to over production (10%) or under excretion (90%) or some time both. Homoeopathic remedies are effective in treating acute as well as chronic gout and also help in reducing the uric acid levels, thus preventing further attacks and other complications of hyperuricemia.
