Inorder to avoid further urate crystals deposit to joints which normally occurs in patients with gout, simply instruct your patient to avoid foods that are high in uric acid such as legumes, beans, meat, dairy products, alcohol, coffee. Colchicine is drug of choice for gout. Instruct the patient about the side effects of colchicine.
