I am 62 years male, recently discovered a borderline increase in uric acid at 7.00 through pathological tests. My doctor has prescribed febucip 40 od for treating the same. Seeing the adverse side effects of the medicine, I am terrified as to whether taking such a medicine is really required for treating a borderline case like mine - with such significant side effects. I'm not questioning the competence of the prescribing doctor, but seeking a second opinion from you.
