What is prescribed for pseudogout?

Pseudogout, caused by calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition, is often treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to relieve pain and inflammation. In more severe cases, corticosteroids may be prescribed, either orally or injected directly into the affected joint. Colchicine can also be effective in managing flare-ups. Additionally, lifestyle modifications and physical therapy may be recommended to help manage symptoms.
