Dear Sir,

Thank you for posting your query on HCM.

Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that , these agents are urate lowering therapy and starting these drugs in acute phase can actually worsen the problem that happened with you .

For tackling acute attack either NSAIDS like Naproxen or zycolchicine should be added and after that urate lowering therapy should be started . You can talk to your treating doctor regarding this .

Take care.
