Asked for female, 24 years old from Delhi

Sir I am taking anti tuberculosis medicines which have increased uric acid level to 10. Which is causing severe pain in my joints. When I consulted doctor handling my tuberculosis case she advised me to take febutaz 40 mg medicine to reduce uric acid level. But after 10 days of treatment I have got no relief. Should I eat febutaz of 80 mg now or to change the medicine? Doctor has advised me to take 40 mg capsule.

Nop. Do not increase the dose before 14 days of treatment (4 days more). After that recheck blood uric acid level. If it is still high, then you can increase to 40 mg two times a day! thanks.

Mr Rakesh Kumar, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. Uric acid 10.6 mg is quite high. But please tell me what symptoms do you have, because nothing is mentioned about that aspect. Only increased uric acid is not such a problem unless there is gouty arthritis.
Since treatment has been started, it will take a few days for seeing any results.
Plus you will have to follow certain precautions which I am sure doctor treating must have already conveyed. Those are: 1 Stop ta...more

Asked for male, 36 years old from Chennai

Dear Doctor - I have kidney stone of 2.8 mm in midpole of right kidney. I had total 5 of them since last year but all except this one have cleared with medication. I was working out in gym and taking protein powder (70 grams) + egg whites+BcAA (branch chain amino acids), but I stopped taking them 1 year ago after kidney stone. My suspicion is that these were Uric Acid stones, however I could not see any while they moved out of my body. I am currently NOT taking any medicine but drinking water around 3 Litre per day. I took clonagem for high heart rate for couple of months. I got a KFT done today and Uric Acid is 8.1 (i do not eat non-veg, junk food, too much protein like pulses) and go to gym everyday doing moderately good workout. Could this uric acid be due to clonagem OR it is the stone which is causing this high. I took febutaz 40 for 2 months and that time uric acid was fine. Kindly help. Too many complexities and unable to find what might be causing the issue.

Green tea contains small amounts of caffeine, but it is also loaded with powerful antioxidants called catechins, which are also believed to work synergistically with the caffeine to enhance fat burning although the evidence is mixed, there are many studies showing that green tea (either as a beverage or a green tea extract supplement) can help you lose weight.
