Text: In case you missed this on the website and have taken and finished any form of antibiotics in the last six to eight months or so, then please FOLLOW the next bit of information carefully. Antibiotics are prescribed to destroy bad bacteria, but unfortunately they also destroy all of the friendly bacteria in the digestive system as well. The bowels account for about 30% of the elimination of uric acid from the body. When sufficient amounts of friendly bacteria are excluded from the bowels (see chlorine information below), the elimination process is inhibited resulting in even more uric acid build up. This also hampers the absorption of the herbal blend and makes it more difficult for your body to hold the uric acid to a soluble state. Since antibiotics are so detrimental please keep a strict diet, eat plenty of yogurt, sour cream, and cottage cheese, and drink plenty of water during the e! ntire c ourse of the medication. After you are through with the antibiotics be sure to purchase some Acidophilus/ L. Bifidus (PRO-BIOTIC supplements) to restore the friendly bacteria. If at any time in the future you are placed on an antibiotic when you are Gout attack free from our herbal blend, it is necessary to take all diet precautions to avoid an attack. The antibiotics will have a weakening effect on the herbal blend, but you will remain attack free with extra water and a careful diet until you are through the prescription. Again you should also then follow up with a Pro-Biotic after the prescription to restore all of the lost ³friendly² bacteria. Feel free to contact me at goutcure@comcast.net should you have any questions at all.   We now carry a product called "Friendly Fighters" for Probiotic Therapy which is advantageous to use every day regardless of antibiotic use.  In case you missed this on our website, please follow this link to learn more:  http://www.goutcure.com/frfi.html Thank You Again **The only over the counter pain reliever suggested is Ibuprofen and even still used sparingly and only when absolutely necessary as it too still takes focus from the kidneys to expel. Anything containing Acetaminophen (tylenol, cold medicines, etc.) and  low dose aspirin will cause excess uric acid production and inhibits proper liver function. They, as well as antibiotics, can have a weakening effect on the herbal blend.  A combination of Ibuprofen taken with Glucosamine serves as a great pain reliever and joint supporter during hard healing**   ** CHLORINE- A daily regiment of Acidophilus is strongly recommended for all walks of life. We kill off so much needed amounts of friendly bacteria daily with chlorinated water for drinking and bathing, foods processed with antibiotics, daily inhalants, etc. that a daily dose in order to provide sufficient amounts for proper digestive and immune system function would be best for anyone seeking ultimate health and vitamin/mineral assimilation. **If  you take a daily dose of baby aspirin then it would be strongly suggested to work with your doctor on changing to an adult 325mg dose instead.  Oddly enough the higher dose does not have the same negative effect of uric acid production as the low dose does.   **Also please be sure to include some "healing" foods into your diet every day even after healing for proper balance and acid control*
