Gout : Gout is a medical condition usually characterized by recurrent attacks of acute inflammatory arthritis—a red, tender, hot, swollen joint. The initial aim of treatment is to settle the symptoms of an acute attack. Repeated attacks can be prevented by different drugs used to reduce the serum uric acid levels. Ice applied for 20 to 30 minutes several times a day decreases pain. Options for acute treatment include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), colchicineand steroids,while options for prevention include allopurinol, febuxostat and probenecid. Lowering uric acid levels can cure the disease.Treatment of comorbidities is also important.
Antacids, ferrous salts, bismuth subsalicylate, sucralfate and zinc salts reduce bioavailability of gatifloxacin. May increase digoxin plasma levels. Probenecid, cimetidine and loop diuretics increase gatifloxacin levels. NSAIDs may increase the risk of CNS stimulation and convulsions. Concurrent use of bepridil, cisapride, erythromycin, pentamidine, phenothiazines, or TCAs may prolong QT interval. Concurrent corticosteroid therapy may increase the risk of tendon rupture. Increased risk of hypoglycaemia when used with oral antidiabetic agents. May enhance hypoprothrombinaemic effects of oral anticoagulants.
