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.
