I've had to use Allopurinol for a bit after my last attack. It doesn't prevent an outright attack, but it bring uric acid down enough to ward off spikes. If I know I'm going to be in a situation where I may run into an increase (ie. free "order what you want" steak and lobster dinner at The Keg a couple of weeks ago), I took it for a day just in case, and had some Naproxen as well.
