PREVIEW

As early as the fourth century BC, Hippocrates recognized gout as an affliction of old men and a product of high living. Although this painful condition promises to accompany humanity into the 21st century, fortunately remedies have improved since Hippocrates' day.

In this article, Dr Davis discusses current options for relieving acute attacks, preventing recurrence, and lowering uric acid levels.
