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.
