Health

Hi I am facing an issue of elevated uric acid iver 1 yr now... Gout on left toe and feet and body pains in several body parts like ribs, back etc. Uric acid is constantly above 8...Taking febustat 40 twice daily past 15 days.. Also experiencing indigestion Pl advise

Ans: So, the Febustat is useful for reducing uric acid. However, since you have symptoms of Gout as well, you need additional medication to address the Gout.
However, it is equally important to understand the underlying pathology of why you have high Uric Acid. Alongside medicines, please adopt lifestyle and discuss with a dietitian to understand what dietary modifications need to be done.

Medicine and lifestyle modifications together will ensure better treatment outcomes.
