Exante and Gout

[drawboy69]

Hi all,
I'm in my third week of Exante and have just got a very painful dose of Gout in my toe. I do suffer from gout now and again but this is really bad. Does Exante make you more susceptible to getting Gout?
Cheers DB

Yes it can because of a rise in uric acid levels. Usually only an issue if you are prone to gout already, unfortunately, that's you. Hope it clears up quickly for you.

The protein load in exante must be the trigger, as it's the broken down products of the diet that accumulates in the joint and causes the fleeting arthritis. Hope it gets better soon.
