In most cases when prescribed a person is required to take the maximum dosage of NSAIDS until such time as the symptoms of the gout attack begin to subside. Then once they do, a person will be required to continue to take the medication prescribed for at least another 48 hours when both the inflammation and pain should no longer be present.
As well as the NSAIDS, another form of prescribed treatment for acute gout attacks is Colchicine. But unfortunately unlike the NSAIDS this form of treatment does not actually cure the problem instead what it does is reduces the inflammation caused by an attack and so it only relieves the inflammation or prevents an attack from occurring altogether.
