Gout, Acute
"I have used Advil to treat my gout for years.  I start off with 3 when there&#039;s pain, then 2 every 6 hours throughout the 1st day.  Beyond that, I keep it within the recommended dosage of no more than 1200/day and I typically do that much for the first 3-5 days after an attack occurs.  I use the rapid release kind or it doesn&#039;t work at all."
