Diuretics are often used to reduce blood pressure and are a common prescription for many. Unfortunately, diuretics are also known for being able to potentially bring on gout. These products help the body flush out the system on a more regular basis, which leads to more frequent trips to the bathroom. However, with the increase of water leaving the body through urine, dehydration can occur and increase the levels of uric acid in the body. Consult a doctor for best options.
