Infusion Therapy for Gout

IV Infusion Therapy for Chronic Gout
Chronic gout doesn’t just disrupt your joints — it disrupts your life. When pills and dietary changes fall short, IV infusion therapy steps in with a different kind of relief. This treatment is designed to reduce uric acid levels in the bloodstream by converting it into a water-soluble substance (allantoin) that the body can remove more easily. That means fewer flares, less crystal buildup, and, for many, the elimination of tophi faster than oral medication alone can provide.

An Advanced Solution When Other Treatments Haven’t Worked
At The Gout Institute, our approach is tailored to people who haven’t responded to standard treatments. Each IV infusion delivers medication directly into the bloodstream, allowing for faster absorption, quicker relief, and a more effective dose than oral medications typically allow. This isn’t a band-aid — it’s a therapy designed to break the cycle and stop gout at its root.
When gout strikes, urate crystals build up in the joints, causing intense pain, swelling, and redness. This process can create a cycle of pain and discomfort that's difficult to remedy, particularly when it leads to tophi buildup, which can interfere with joint function. IV infusion therapy works by directly addressing these issues, providing much-needed relief.

What to Expect During Your IV Infusion Session
Before your IV infusion treatment begins, our team of medical professionals will take the time to review your medical history, measure your serum uric acid level, and discuss any previous treatments for gout. This initial consultation is crucial for customizing your infusion therapy and ensuring it’s as effective as possible. Our team will be present throughout the session to make sure you're comfortable and to provide any assistance needed. Each treatment typically lasts about three hours and can be done in the comfort of your home or at one of our Gout Institute Network Facilities, ensuring a safe and effective environment that optimizes your results.

Benefits of IV Infusion Therapy for Gout
Unlike traditional oral medications, IV infusion therapy is delivered directly into your bloodstream, offering quicker and more efficient absorption. This method provides faster relief from gout symptoms and a more immediate response to treatment. Additionally, IV therapy allows our physicians to administer the most medically appropriate dose of medication, ensuring a more beneficial outcome compared to other treatments you may have tried in the past.
