NO! Both of them are toxic anti-inflammatory drugs. And both of them have potential side effects on your gastrointestinal. Taking both of them together may result in serious stomach discomfort such as nausea, vomitting or diarrhea.

I wonder that it is your doctor that suggested you to take both of those drugs together or it is just your personal intention to do so due the intense gout pain you are experiencing now. What ever the reason it is, my personal experience with hundreds of gout patients tells me that is not a wise move.

Look, those drugs are just temporary relief to the pain you are suffering now. There is no instant cure for you gout problem, but there is a gradual way to get rid of the root of the problem by slowing neutralizing the uric acid crystals that are hidden in your joints or muscles. You need to be rational and shift your perspective on gout, then only you will see the ultimate way out from this gouty devil. All the best!

Hello, gout sufferer for 14+ years here, I seem to have it under control.

Usually one takes colchicine, or iburprofen, for the pain of gout. You probably should take one or the other, not both at the same time. A script for indomethacine may help you with the pain too.

To help get rid of gout, you must think about helping your body to get rid of uric acid. Here's what you do:

o - drink lots of water daily, 1 oz for every 2 lbs of body weight
o - drink 100% fruit juices
o - get a script for allopurinol... helps remove uric acid from the body, is very inexpensive, has no side effects
o - take celery seed pills, helps the body to not create so much uric acid

Best of luck to you!
