Refill Gout MedicationWhat is gout?
Gout is inflammatory arthritis from too much uric acid in the blood (hyperuricemia). The uric acid crystallizes in joints, which triggers sudden, intense flares of pain and swelling. Gout most often hits the big toe but can show up in the ankles, knees, elbows, wrists, and fingers. It’s one of the more common forms of arthritis in adults, and it becomes more common with age, especially in men after 30 and in women after menopause.
Long-term, gout is managed with urate-lowering therapy (usually allopurinol) plus lifestyle changes that reduce uric acid sources. Acute flares are treated separately, with anti-inflammatory medications like colchicine, NSAIDs, or corticosteroids.
What are the symptoms of a gout attack?
- Sudden, severe joint pain. Flares often start at night, frequently in the big toe.
- Redness, warmth, and swelling. The joint looks inflamed and is tender to the lightest touch. A bedsheet can feel unbearable.
- Flare duration. Untreated flares last 3 to 10 days; treatment shortens the episode.
- Tophi. In long-standing gout, uric acid crystals form visible lumps under the skin around joints, ears, or fingers.
- Limited motion. The affected joint becomes stiff and hard to use during a flare.
Medications that treat gout
Gout treatment uses two categories of medication: urate-lowering therapy for long-term control, and anti-inflammatory medications for acute flares.
| Medication | Role in gout | Refill |
|---|---|---|
| Allopurinol (Zyloprim) | First-line preventive. Lowers uric acid long-term so flares happen less often. | Refill with Temi |
| Febuxostat (Uloric) | Second-line preventive for patients who can't tolerate allopurinol. | Refill with Temi |
| Colchicine | Treats acute flares; also prevents flares when you start allopurinol. | Refill with Temi |
| Probenecid | Helps the kidneys excrete more uric acid. Useful for patients who under-excrete. | Refill with Temi |
Lifestyle changes that help gout
- Drink plenty of water (aim for 8+ glasses a day)
- Limit alcohol, especially beer and spirits
- Cut back on high-purine foods: organ meats, game, anchovies, sardines, scallops
- Cut back on sugary drinks and foods with high-fructose corn syrup
- Lose weight gradually if you need to, not with crash diets (rapid loss can trigger flares)
- Review any medications that raise uric acid (some diuretics, low-dose aspirin) with your physician

Frequently asked questions about gout
Is gout curable or lifelong?
Gout is chronic. You manage it, you don't cure it. Daily urate-lowering medication like allopurinol can reduce flares to rare or zero when paired with lifestyle changes, but stopping the medication usually brings gout back. Some patients with mild, diet-driven gout do fine without daily medication.
What triggers gout flares?
The common triggers are dehydration, heavy alcohol (especially beer), high-purine foods (red meat, organ meat, shellfish), sudden weight loss, surgery, and certain diuretics. Temperature swings and stress matter for some people too. Figuring out your personal triggers is a long-term project.
What foods are highest in purines?
The highest: organ meats (liver, kidney), game meats, anchovies, sardines, herring, mackerel, and scallops. Most people managing gout avoid these. Moderate: red meat, shellfish, and some vegetables like asparagus and spinach. You can usually eat these in moderation. Safe: dairy, eggs, most vegetables, and whole grains.
Can you get gout without drinking alcohol?
Yes. Gout comes from elevated uric acid, which can trace back to genetics, kidney function, diet, or certain medications. Plenty of gout patients drink little or nothing. Alcohol is one trigger among many, not a requirement.
Does Temi refill gout medications like allopurinol or febuxostat?
Yes. Temi refills non-controlled gout medications you're already on, including allopurinol, febuxostat, probenecid, and colchicine, for a $15 flat fee. A board-certified physician reviews your request within 24 hours and sends the prescription to any licensed US pharmacy. We don't start new gout prescriptions. Starting one requires an initial workup with your primary physician.
How quickly does allopurinol relieve a gout flare?
It doesn't. Allopurinol is preventive, not a rescue drug for an active flare. It lowers uric acid gradually over weeks to months so future flares happen less often. For an active flare, physicians prescribe colchicine, NSAIDs, or corticosteroids. Allopurinol continues (or starts) alongside the acute treatment, not in place of it.
Can gout be treated without medication?
Sometimes, for mild or infrequent gout. Lifestyle changes (hydration, weight management, less alcohol, fewer high-purine foods) can work on their own when uric acid isn't wildly elevated. Most people with recurrent flares eventually need a urate-lowering drug like allopurinol, because lifestyle changes alone rarely lower uric acid enough to stop flares long-term.
When should I go to the ER for gout?
Gout itself usually isn't an emergency. Go to urgent care or the ER if you have a fever with the joint pain, if the joint is hot and severely swollen and you suspect infection, or if the pain is bad enough that you can't walk or bear weight. Those signs can look like gout but may actually be septic arthritis, which needs imaging and a joint-fluid sample to rule out.
