It depends on what other treatment he is under going.

Lowering the uric acid level in the blood by increasing the excretion of uric acid in the urine with drugs such as probenecid or sulfinpyrazone is another strategy. Keep in mind that aspirin blocks the effect of probenecid and sulfinpyrazone and should not be used at the same time. Where pain medication is required, acethaminophen or ibuprofen can be safely administered instead. Drinking a lot of fluids - at least 3 quarts a day may also help reduce the risk of damage to the joints and kidneys when the excretion of uric acid is increased.
