These pills did nothing to prevent or mitigate my gout. What did work was going to the doctor and asking for his help in making the gout go away. I started taking Allopurinol and took Colchicine until I was past the danger stage. Since then I have not had a single flare-up. If you are having serious, incapacitating flare-ups, forget the homeopathic cures. They are not strong enough and do not attack the root of the problem. Get to a doctor and get some real help.
