Today’s video is all about gout drugs for Nursing Students and NCLEX Review.
Allopurinol and colchicine are both used to treat gout by reducing uric acid. Allopurinol is a medication used to reduce the amount of uric acid in the blood, while colchicine is used to reduce inflammation and swelling.
Both medications are safe for most clients - but as a nurse, you must be aware of their differences and implications when administering these medications.

I'm in a middle of a mild attack. Managing pain and walkable (kinda) it has been like this for 2 weeks, not completely going away. Should I start my allopurinol or wait til the gout has completely clear up?
allopurinol wont stop the pain. NSAIDs will.
Thanks I have learnt alot

what about indomethacin? I've experienced gout for 30 years, off and on, and indomethacin has straightened it out in hours Start with 2 50mg caps and repeat after 4 hours if not fully efficacious.
Do u take 2 pills every 4 hours and repeat it until the pain goes away?
Is it ok to take allopuronol if you have heart trouble I heard your not to take it is this true
I have a gout attack right now in ankle not the first time man do they 🤕 hurt I have 3 days with out getting out of bed if I do have to get up I have to hop around in one foot to go restroom very painful I am taking alopurinol 300 mg and ibropufen 800 mg for pain but not really helping me out much I saw this video and I got more information about gout great video and well explain
Is your gout already gone?
@@Magnifico-ck5xd Might as well comment despite this comment being old in case anyone is seeking an answer. Allopurinol is only to prevent / reduce the frequency of attacks. You will most likely be prescribed it to take daily for as long as the condition affects you. it will do nothing for you when you have a flare up. In this case you should ask / phone your doctor and get a prescription of Colchicine during a flare up and take it as prescribed until the swelling and pain is gone. You will still continue to take Allopurinol to prevent further attacks though if you're already on Allopurinol a doctor may adjust your dosage.
@@howdlej123 Hello sir, How long have you been taking Allopurinol?? i am 30. At what age did you start this medicine?? Do you take it daily? At what time. What is your diet?? Do you eat rice, chicken, eggs, meat, protein food along with that? At what amount do you take them? Do you face any side effects with your kidneys, liver?? Do you drink milk, coffee?? Please advice what to eat and what to avoid?? Waiting for your reply
@ Don't use Nsaids. They will hurt your stomach lining.

Watching your video hopefully I was my quiz
so if I have gout I can’t order off the rodeo menu anymore?
I had my first gout attack at 75. Went to the doctor, prescribed colchicine and took as prescribed. On the third day in the evening, had severe diarrhea through most of the night. I stopped taking it. Beware!
Nurse? How many days the gout lasted??
Can Colchicine and Allopurinol be taken at the same time? ie: I have been taking Allopurinol for prevention of gout. Can I continue to take it should I need to take Colchicine for an acute flare-up? If not, how long after completing the Colchicine treatment should I wait before resuming the Allopurinol treatment?
Hello! I have gout, have had it for 8 years now. One shouldn't take Allopurinol and Colchicine at the same time. Allopurinol is notorious for worsening acute attacks. You can resume use of Allopurinol after the inflammation and pain of the acute attack has subsided.
I did it this morning
@@gerryvandenberg1867so we should stop allopurinol during flares up? I went to er last time. N the doctor prescribe me allopurinol to take daily during flares up. Now it look like getting worse. Should I stop taking allopurinol?
*Colchicine is not a uric acid reducer. It is an anti-inflammatory specifically used for gout*
According to all medical sources, of which I will use Davis Drug Guide as an example, colchicine "interferes with functions of WBCs in initiating and perpetuating the inflammatory response to monosodium urate crystals." It reduces inflammation and pain from uric acid crystal buildup in the joints.
Plus colchicine is second line drug in acute gout attack and used as first line in prophylaxis

@@timemuch It's a bit troubling that Simple Nursing videos have errors in information that are not corrected even after the errors have been brought to the attention of the creator.
@SimpleNursing please correct this
After taking allopurinol then I had problems like lymph nodes swelling at the neck, filling tired, headache, ESR. I hate this drug
can i purchase it with no recommend of the doctors?? thanks for the reply in advance
Its all prescription.
Just in time for my final 8AM monday :)

Wow
Colchicine takes the gout away withing 1 or 2 days max very good medicine the best
I just started Colchicine last night, having my first Gout attack which started 4 days ago..very painful swelling in my big toe. Will this drug take the swelling down? And how long should I keep taking Colchicine? Thanks
Colchicine stops the gout attack and ibuprofen 800mg helps with pain and swelling I learned from many gout attacks that if you first start feeling pain and think it's a gout attack take colchicine 1 pill in the morning and 1 pill at night that stops the gout attack from continuing for days good luck
One more thing only use colchicine when needed if you get gout after that don't use till next gout attack
@@DeMiRancho Will keep that in mind. How long does it take the red swelling to go down. it's been almost 24-36 hrs since taking this medication and my toe is still red & swollen. the pain has gone down though
@@therealjulez7886 gout attacks last almost 1 to 6 days depends how fast you catch it in my case once i feel it i take a colchicine pill to stop the attack and a ebropufen pill and by the next day its going away i have years getting gout attacks 😔 next time you feel it starting act fast and trust me you will be fine 🙏
Cellycocive
Im actually suffering frm gout as i watch this 😭😭
Same the doctor gave me colchicine but it’s not working out for me
@@AngkorianWarrior777 lets cry together 😭😭😭
@@samoano.g.5748 just finding out that colchicine doesn’t help with the pain man. I’m dying man
@@AngkorianWarrior777 i just took some aleve n im so damn happy the pain eased off
@@samoano.g.5748 lol you didn’t get anything prescribed from the doctor.
Causes of gout : excess weight and too high sugar levels cause arthritic inflammation. Change you diet lose weight and avoid sugar.
Yeah this not true at all. Know many athletes who have gout also. People who are muscular in their 20’s who run 5k and in great shape. Nothing will defeat Genetics. Educate yourself
Salt sugar and wheat 🌾 products are poisonous
I'm a healthy weight and don't have high blood sugar but have gout.
I have gout and eat ridiculously healthy
Healthy guy w/ gout here!!
Colchicine works great but oh boy will it clean you out. Worth it but whew, going to be on the toilet all day afterwards.
Why not just try intermittent fasting to clean you out??
@@MM-qp4pd Doesn't work. Gout is like kidney stones, once the crystals start forming they're not easy to get rid of.
I’m using colchicine it feels like it’s getting worse
It didn’t help me either
Stop taking drugs and eat keto.
Keto can cause it too
Keto wont defeat genetics. I know guys on their 20’s who are skinny and eat healthy and exercise who have gout.
@@Jordanfiend361 this facts! I'm 35 and in the gym 5 days a week i'm deff not overweight, have a ton of built muscle.. I ended up getting Gout on vacation eating a ton of seafood & lots of red meat. I'm in an insane amount of pain my big toe is throbbing. Just started Cochicine last night hoping it works
