I don't really get the trots with it and I take two a day. The side effects of the trots is dose related and the trick is to balance the dose so as not to give the side effects and to give relief from the ailment.

I have a drug book called "The Australian Drug Guide" that tells me all the side affects of all the drugs that I take. (My son reckons I am a bigger druggie than he ever was. At least all mine are legal. Current count is seven prescription drugs that I take.

The problem with gout is that it is caused by too much uric acid in the system and the kidneys don't excrete it properly from your body and what the uric acid does is form crystals in the joints and this is what causes the pain and not only in the big toe but can actually form in any joint but the big toe is the most common place that it occurs. What the Colgout does is dissolve the crytals and helps the kidneys get rid of the uric acid from your body.

I don't know about anti-inflamatories but I do know when I ran out of Colgout once and didn't take any for a fortnight and ended up with an almighty attack of gout I went to the chemist and got the script filled within two days the gout was gone and started to get relief within four hours of taking them.
