Medical Forum / General / General / January 2005Low Dose Aspirin Increases Your Chances of Gout
http://www.medscape.com/viewprogram/3689_pnt "Low dose aspirin increases the uric acid level by approximately 6% over time, and there is a 23% decrease in uric acid clearance with 71 to 81 mg of aspirin, which is becoming more prevalent because of the antiplatalet trailists' recommendation for both primary and secondary prevention." The quote is from a section of a Medscape CME article written in part by Arthur L. Weaver, MD. There is no free lunch at the pharmacy.............

All of these; along with ice, heat, self-massage and many more modalities which we can learn, will be far less risky pain management and disease control techniques. Zee Zee Read the article again - high doses of aspirin are uricosuric. They didn't say how high is high.
