The treatment options for gout depend on its severity and how the patient responds to treatment. Typically, the first line of treatment for acute gout is non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), corticosteroids, or colchicine. In more severe or chronic cases, treatment may include xanthine oxidase inhibitors (XOI) or uricosuric drugs.
