TTT this particular product won't ship to Ireland unfortunately. Maybe I can find something in a health shop similar.
Are the tablets as good

Has anyone used the cherry concentrate for arthritis? My knees have been giving me more grief than usual this winter.

Has your Rheumatologist not mentioned Febuxostat for an acute gouty flare?

nope, asked my doctor yesterday about something to reduce the uric acid levels once and for all, he just gave me more alopurinol.

Febuxostat is a good shout by Lady CG.
Is it better than Alupurinol? More research needed.

[pumpjack]

could i maybe change to febuxostat

Pumpjack.........this is a matter of fine judgement. a subject of which i am not an expert. Go with the Drs advice for another week and if no improvement then discuss the change with your GP.
