For the last two days I was combiflam when improvement was much better, but I had to stop combiflam as I faced high and acidity and indigestion. Pain has come back again. My uric acd content is 7 - 8. Kindly advice.

Thank you for contacting us on Lybrate. This pin prick sensations as you have rightly pointed out is neuropathic pain due to diabetes. You need to get a few tests done like hba1c, ncv of your left foot first to rule out any other pathologic cause. A detailed work up needs to be done before medicines can be prescribed. You can get in touch foa a detailed discussion.

Hello,
maxgalin (pregabalin) group of medicines are better to be avoided on a long run for its side effects and dose increase. It can better be replaced with other preferred options like gabapentin etc. In your case, if you are having progressive symptoms lately, you need to go through a check up to prevent increase in pain.
Get well soon.

Asked for female, 56 years old from Mumbai

Hello doctor, I am 23 years old male and around 8 months ago, in my blood test I found high levels of creatinine and uric acid amd high blood pressure of around 170/90, then I went to kidney specialist and he prescribed febuxostat 40 mg for 3 months, and relmisart 40 mg twice a day 1-0-1, with amlodipine 5 mg once a day 1-0-0, now its been 6 months I am eating these, and stopped fexanto, and now due to lighten, from past 1 week, I am checking my blood pressure at home, so it is normal 115-80, hence now, can I reduce my dosage of telmisartan 40 mg to once a day, 1-0-0 and increase amlodipine dosage to twice a day, 1-0-1.because I have heard that telmisartan declines kidney function and is not good for kidneys for long term use. Ps: I cannot visit kidney specialist doc as he is stuck out of india because of cavity 19 lockdown. Please help me out with a detailed reply.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. I do not know from where you have gathered the information about Telmisartnan causing "kidney damage". In fact these group of drugs (ARBs) and ACE- Is are considered safest of blood pressure reducing drugs. Since your BP is well controlled, there is no reason to reduce the dosage. Telmisartan is shown to reduce proteinuria and help improve Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR), which an indication of kidney function. Thanks.

Mr Rakesh Kumar, Thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. Uric acid 10.6 mg is quite high. But please tell me what symptoms do you have, because nothing is mentioned about that aspect. Only increased uric acid is not such a problem unless there is gouty arthritis.
