Question

Mr. lybrate-user upadhyaya, thanks for the query. The drug that you are taking will definitely help in reducing the uric acid level. You will have to continue taking the same for some more months. Plus there is a need to look your diet and overall lifestyle. 1) with a bmi of 27.4 kg/sq meter (normal < 23 kg/sq meter) ypu are already quite over weight. Your ideal body weight should be about 65 kg, hence, reducing the weight is an important aspect, that will also help in bringing down uric acid level. 2) avoid taking high protein diet. Particularly dry been, green peas, mushrooms and cauliflower. 3) avoid eating red meat, mutton in general, organ meat, fishes, scallops, shell fish & pork if you are taking non-vegetarian diet. 4) avoid sugary aerated drinks like colas & packaged fruit juices, corn syrup (fructose syrup) containing food products. 5) avoid alcohol & loose weight. Therefore, along with the drug taken for reduction of uric acid, please follow a modified lifestyle. That will help in uric acid level reduction thanks.
