                        I don't know.  However, gout started  bothering me about 15 years ago.  Didnt know what it was  then.  Dr diagonesed it.  No attacks for  4 yrs, then it struck again and the per-  iods between attacks started getting  shorter:  Finally decided to do something  about it.  Cut down tremendously on red   meat and booze and take 200 mgs of allo-  purinol daily.  Have not been incapacita-  ted by gout in a year and a half.  This formula works for me.  Since gout is  caused by uric acid not being expelled  from your body and is a by-product of   protein, I cut down on beans, booze,   red meat and its been a tremendous help.  See a good doctor who knows how to take  care of gout.  You may need some other medication.
