Which is a better anti-inflammatory agent Naproxen or Colchicine?
Hello! My father woke up two nights ago with extreme pain near the joint of the big toe His joint was swollen and turned a shining purple. We went to see his doctor and he diagnosed acute gout. He prescribed Naproxen and told him not to consume alcohol, especially beer, and that he should avoid food such as liver, sardines, kidneys and other with high content of protein and purines. Our neighbor says he used to take Colchicine since it is better anti-inflammatory agent then Naproxen. Is this true?
