What is gout?

Gout is a common form of inflammatory arthritis that causes sudden, intense pain, swelling and redness in the joints. It occurs when there’s a buildup of uric acid in the blood, which can form sharp crystals in the joints. These flare-ups can come on quickly but discomfort may last several days to a few weeks.

Which joints are affected by gout?

While gout most commonly begins in one joint—often the big toe—it can affect other joints over time, including the ankles, knees, elbows, wrists or fingers.

Is gout a long-term condition?

Some people might only experience gout once, but it can be a recurring condition, especially if not managed properly. While symptoms may come and go, ongoing support can help reduce flare-ups and manage discomfort. InstantScripts allows you to request gout treatment online, with follow-up care available when needed.

How does online gout treatment work?

You begin by filling out a short online questionnaire. A doctor will review your responses and speak with you via video call to assess your needs and offer treatment guidance where appropriate.

Can I request a gout prescription online?

Yes — InstantScripts allows you to request gout prescriptions online, from the comfort of your home. If your doctor believes a prescription is clinically appropriate, they may send it directly to your pharmacy or deliver it via SMS or email.

What information do I need to provide?

You’ll need to share your medical history, symptoms, previous diagnoses (if any), and any current medications to help your doctor assess your needs.

Once approved, can my prescription be sent to a pharmacy or delivered?

Yes. If a prescription is approved, it can be sent to your chosen pharmacy or directly to you via SMS or email. You can also select to have your medication delivered to your door via standard or express delivery.
