I just filled a script for Pro-Cid, this was prescribed by a new doctor to prevent gout.I noticed the small print warns it contains Aspirin. I thought this was a little strange, I won't be taking any more. She also prescribed Celebrex for pain relief and they worked well. Thanks for the tip.

At low doses (4-6 tablets/day), itdecreases uric acid excretion - the basis for saying it worsens agout attack I guess - while at high doses it is uricosuric(increases excretion of uric acid), but the latter effect isn'tusefulfor therapy because of the high and frequent doses required.(Emmerson, Getting Rid of Gout) Actually aspirin, as salicylic acid, affects the excretion of uricacidin the kidneys in two ways.
