Hello, thanks for the query. I have seen the details mentioned. The uric acid level given is quite high. It needs to be brought closer 6 mg or lower /100 ml. Therefore, he may have to take febustat for quite a long time which could be 6 months plus. It is essential to check the uric acid level at least once in 3 months and based on that one can decide on continuation of the tablets. Fresh water fish seem to have less urea generating property than the sea fish. It is good to know that he has maintained a very good food habit and stopped taking alcohol. Because alcohol is not helpful in reducing uric acid levels. Thanks.

Dear doctor, I have been consulting you often. Of late my urine output seems to be declining. You had prescribed renosave forte when my creatinine had gone up to 1.4 and feburic 40 when my uric acid had gone beyond 7. When my uric acid levels had come down and creatine was 1.2 you had advised me to stop both feburic 40 and renosave but uric acid levels again touched 7.1 after a few months and you asked me to take feburic 40 again. I want an online consultation.

Hello, thanks for the query. I have seen the details mentioned. However, I do not recall the earlier consultations done. I am Dr. p l jathar, please check whether you have consulted me only. In any case, uric acid level remaining at 7 mg/100 ml is not at all dangerous. Because there are many persons with high uric acid, however, only a few of those tend to get symptoms related to gout or gouty arthritis. As regards creatinine level at 1.4 mg is still good enough considering the age. It is necessary to look at your dietary intake as foods containing high proteins (purines) need to be avoided. Also it is necessary to maintain normal blood pressure. Since I do not recall any earlier details, please do come back with specific facts. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query. It is difficult to predict how long will it take to bring down uric acid level. But usually along with dietary restrictions the drug needs to be taken well over 6 months to see the benefits. Thanks

I am taking feburic 20 for my high uric acid level which is 8. Some one has advised me to take berberis pantercon homeo medicine along with feburic. Can I take allopathic and homeopathic medicine together for my high uric acid level?

Hello, Thanks for the query. I have seen the details mentioned. Tablet Febuxostat will definitely help in reducing uric acid. However, what effect the so called homeo medicine has is difficult to say. Taking it along with Febuxostat is no problem at all. Because most those (homeo)medications are like a placebo. I am sure you are also aware that there is a need to reduce purine(a type of protein) containing foods like certain fishes, red meat, organ meat, sweetened aerated drinks like cola and alcohol too as these will increase uric acid production in the body. Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the query. To reduce increased uric acid one needs to avoid foods containing high purine containing foods like red meat, organ meat, certain sea foods (fishes like scallop, herring, haddock, salmon, mushrooms and mussels ). Also avoid sweetened aerated drinks & alcohol. The drug mentioned can be taken as 80 mg once a day. For a month or so then check the uric acid again. Stopping the drug may increase the levels again. Thanks.

Normal Uric acid levels are 2.4-6.0 mg/dL (female) and 3.4-7.0 mg/dL (male) Some diets that are rich in purine end up causing an increased production of uric acid. In other cases, it may be due to a completely sedentary lifestyle. Less intake of water also may be to blame in some cases as water plays an important role in washing out the excess of the uric acid. Regular usage of some medicines also cause the uric acid levels to rise. Another important factor is being overweight as obese people are much more likely to get gout as compared to those who have normal weight. Homeopathic medicines are pretty effective at curing the acute as well as the chronic gout A homoeopathic constitutional treatment will give you a permanent cure naturally You can easily take an online consultation for further treatment guidance and permanent cure without any side effects Medicines will reach you via courier services

For your high uric acid continue taking Feburic to avoid complications associated with high levels of uric acid.It can take up to 2 years for crystals to be completely cleared from the body, so people may continue to have attacks during this time.
