Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
You will have to continue taking the prescribed medication. Uric acid level will slowly reduce. Simultaneously, stop taking foods having high purines like red meat, organ meat, certain sea food, sweetened aerated drinks like colas, alcohol. That should help. Thanks.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Uric acid mentioned (12.8 mg/100 ml) is definitely quite high. Please let me know what are the problems you have associated with this situation. That is do you have gouty arthritis?
Using Febstat is one of the major treatment for reducing uric acid. Plus avoiding foods containing high purines like a number of fish varieties, red meat particularly organ meat like liver, kidney etc.

Zyloprim (allopurinol) works well to prevent gout attacks and is cheaper than some alternatives, but it takes a few weeks to start working. Uloric (febuxostat) is a medication you take once daily for gout, but it takes a few weeks to kick in.
Benemid (probenecid) can be used to lower high uric acid levels in people with gout, but it is not a first-choice treatment because it takes a long time to kick in.
