I was experiencing frequent and increasing gout attacks before taking Probenecid. My doctor started me on 500MG 2x daily, and after a year of no gout attacks, lowered it to on 500MG tab/day. Really worked well for me and no observed side effects.

My husband has taken this, in a combination pill with .06 colchicine in it for close to 2 decades. He tried allopurinol which made his gout a lot worse and did not work. He was on the allopurinol for months and it increased his frequency of attacks. Doctor put him on this and its been great. Only time he has an attack is when he forgets to take his pill a few days in a row otherwise works great.

Great treatment for gout as long as you adjust the dosage upward until no more attacks. I have used this for over 40 years.

I have been taking probenecid w colchicine pill one a day for my gout flares. Works wonders to keep it under control. My doctor is telling me they are no longer making it? Needless to say I am very upset about it. I have no side effects from it and have been taking it for over 13 years, one pill a day. He did not offer any substitute and told me to go see a ruhmetologist.As long as I take it once a day I have no gout flares. Go figure.

I am taking PROBENECID/COL 500MG G/O.5M daily with food. It stops arthritis and helped wiped-out GOUT from my joints. Usually take with food at lunch, when I had bad cough, Doctor gave me AVELOX 400mg one-a-day for 10-days, had to stop Probenecid while taking Avelox during lunch time of fear both are high MGs and might cause problem. Dr. didn't know this as my own judgement due to the number of drugs I am taking. Good news is I had no side effect while taking AVELOX, and am now back to Probenecid at Lunch-time with food and no side effect. This WebMD have all the informations I can look up to help me with the medications.Read More Read Less

For many years I suffered severely with "Pseudo gout"I was given the usual gout RX's colcecine,indomethacin,etc. all were sickening and useless!I had to use crutches sometimes for up to 8 weeks,my hands,ankles elbow and knees would double in size,the only thing that helped was prednisone (steroids)unfortunately I gained 35 lbs even though I lost my appetite and ate little I have been on probenecid for 2 weeks and feel much better,the swelling is gone as is the pain,I have not experienced any side effects yet,I did have a swollen lip which occured almost immediately after eating Escargot,it subsided fairly quickly,I just returned from a 10day cruise where I ate and drank every thing.I am a retired chef and as such enjoy the good life,hopefully I have found a great RX.Read More Read Less
