Mr Mahesh Kumar, Thanks for the query. With uric acid at 7.9 mg/100 ml and having swollen great toe, means you have gout. In that situation along with anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs you need a drug to reduce uric acid. So you may start it. Also please avoid purine containing foods like red meat, organ meat and sea foods. Plus refrain from alcohol, sweetened aerated drinks (colas) and smoking. Thanks.

My uric acid level is 8.67 and I have been told by doctor to take febutaz 40 mg once daily. The problem is after I stop the medicine the uric acid level keeps on increasing. Also I have high cholesterol 251, ldl cholesterol 122 and very high triglycerides 499. Please suggest effective medicines for both uric acid and cholesterol issue.

Drink plenty of water Avoid spicy fatty oily food Daily do running for 30 minutes There are two strategies in this management. * Changing diet and losing weight - Changing adverse life-style factors is an important part of treatment. Losing weight and reducing consumption of alcoholic drinks (particularly beer) and purine-rich foods (such as red meat, offal and dark fish, spinach, methi, fermented food) can all help to reduce uric acid levels. A small amount of research evidence supports the consumption of dairy products such as low-fat yogurts and skimmed milk, or cherries to specifically reduce uric acid levels. * Drug treatment - Long-term drug treatment of gout aims to lower uric acid in order to prevent new crystals from forming and dissolve existing crystals.  Take statin group of drugs to reduce cholesterol

Sir after taking anti tuberculosis medicine for 1.5 months. I got relief from cough and chest pain. Some times yellow colour sputum comes. But very few times in 2-3 days. But one night when I was coughing blood come out with sputum. Is it serious or common with patients receiving tuberculosis treatment. Also I am taking febutaz to reduce blood uric acid level. Sir I am very much scared by seeing blood coming out of mouth. Please help me.

If you are clinically improving and there is just 1 episode of bleeding in cough, you do not worry much. 1) do check for drug resistant tb with help of gene expert, repeat chest xray pa view. 2) do routine blood test of cbc, pt inr, blood group. However if quantity of bleeding is more, you need to consult doctor immediately.

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.

1) you can continue same dose of antituberculous treatment but if joint pain is severe you can take tab ibuprofen 200 mg sos (if you do not have any history of side effects to nsaids). 2) if still its not relived, taper dose of tab pyrazinamide.

You should do-- watch your weight. Eat fresh fruit, vegetables, whole wheat products and some pulses (high in purine) every day. Enjoy low-fat milk and dairy products daily. Drink plenty of fluids. Avoid alcoholelevate your affected foot if you smoke, then stop it. Add more fiber to your diet. Eat more fruits, vegetables and whole grains, which provide complex carbohydrates. Avoid foods and beverages with high-fructose corn syrup, and limit consumption of naturally sweet fruit juices. Good sources of low-purine nuts and seeds include walnuts, almonds, flaxseeds and cashew nuts. U can take one handful of these nuts (mixed) everyday curd is very good for u. Homeopathic treatment has very encouraging results. Consult online for details.
