    Hans,

    ?

    How long has Uloric been around; and what are the performance reviews?? Both my nephrologist and rheumatologist are suggesting I try it.? I am on daily colchicine and allopurinol; but my SUA level doesn't go below 6.8.?

    Kidney issues are?the significant factor in any treatment for me.? The effect of any medication on?my damaged?kidneys has to be the primary concern.?

    Voltaren is extremely effective for pain management but has significant side effects.  I have taken 150 ml per day for 19 years for severe arthritis.  A year ago I was diagnosed with advanced stage Chronic Kidney Disease.  Long term Voltaren usage has been blamed for the kidney damage.  I suffer from gout because my kidneys are functioning poorly and not excreting the uric acid.  During a gout attack I use colchicine and Voltaren; aware that I am continuing to damage my kidneys.  However without the Voltaren I am unable to move about with my arthritis.  Suggest you consult your Dr about what is an appropriate dosage for your situation.
