My mother is 63 years old. She suffers from diabetes, abnormal blood pressure and knee pain. She is taking medicines for all the problems and everything is in control. The knee pain is a big issue but she keeps on doing her daily household jobs which keeps her active. She has the following queries and asked me to know about it from a doctor. 1. If the uric acid increases, will a patient have to consume medicines for controlling it during lifetime (like medicines for diabetes) or it shall be stopped once uric acid is controlled. 2. If Hand Rub or Sanitizer is used in the market or train or bus, whether it is necessary to wash hands or one can even eat after using Hand Rub without washing hands. 3. My mother used Melipox Spray for skin repair after consulting some doctor. Its new bottle is not being used at present. Where can Melipox be used? Thanks & Regards.

Hello, Thanks for the query. 1) To reduce uric acid avoid organ meats, certain sea foods like sardines, salmons, herrings, shell fish etc. 2) Avoid alcohol as well as drink less caffeinated drinks. 3) Drink plenty of water. Citrus drinks are good (orange juice, lemonade) 4) Increase the intake of green leafy vegetables and fruits. Medications need to be taken as when required. Washing hands with hand sanitizers is NOT HEALTHY. Most of these products contain some form of alcohol or trichlsan. These products remain on the hand and are not healthy. Washing with water is most healthy. Melipox spray is used to control itching and for softening the skin. Thanks.
