Which NSAID is used for acute gout attack therapy?

Ibuprofen
Naproxen
Acetaminophen
Paracetamol

The correct answer is: Naproxen

Acute gout attacks are usually treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Ibuprofen and Naproxen are both examples of NSAIDs, but Acetaminophen (also known as Paracetamol) is not. While Acetaminophen is commonly used for pain relief and lowering fever, it does not have the same anti-inflammatory properties as NSAIDs that make them effective for treating gout attacks. Therefore, the best choice for acute gout attack therapy would be Naproxen.
