Photosynthesis absorbs carbon dioxide (CO2) and converts it into energy as biomass {CHO}. This is an important part of the carbon cycle as this is the primary step of the food chain and allows the carbon to be consumed and used by other species to grow. Respiration is the opposite process where biomass is consumed and CO2 is produced. Photosynthesis is often called a carbon sink.
Medications to treat gout attacks. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs include over-the-counter options such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) and naproxen sodium (Aleve, others), as well as more-powerful prescription NSAIDs such as indomethacin (Indocin) or celecoxib (Celebrex).
It can take time for long-term gout medications to control your uric acid levels. You may even have a flare after you start the medication. So, in the meantime, keep taking the medications your doctor prescribes to treat the acute attack as well. Below are the medication options for chronic gout. Allopurinol (Lopurin, Zyloprim), the most traditional and widely used medication for lowering uric acid levels, slows the production of uric acid and may dissolve the uric acid crystals in tophi. However, the drug can take three to six months to dissolve the crystals, and during that time, a gout attack may occur.
