Hi my husband has an attack of gout in the bunyun area of his foot my ? is along with allopurinol he was was prescribed probenocid which was to take the place of colchrys what he was normally taken for a flareup now the doage on the probenocid says 1/2 tablet twice daily for a week then one tablet twice daily after that...Now
reading up on this drug it says it is not for flareups and may make it worse and doesn't seem to do what colchrys or colchicine would in an attack ...Do we have this understood correctly?
