What does uric acid level of 7.8 mean?. The Doc has prescribed Zyloric tabs on one tablet each day.
Can the level of Uric acid brought down to normal withouit the medication?
Is high level of uric acid due to excess of alcohol intake?
Can Multivitamin, especially B12 intake control uric acid?

High uric acid levels could lead to gout. However, there is no standard reference level as each person's acid level is interpreted by height, weight, age, etc. The lab should have printed out the reference range for your individual state and your doctor can tell you where you are.

High alcohol consumption does increase uric acid as does eating high-purine foods, such as sardines, herring, liver, deer meat. etc. The advice of fin777 is correct. Watch your diet and exercise.

Zyloric tablets are prescribed to lower uric acid content, but if you want to go natural, ask your doctor for any suggestions. If he seems closed to the idea, seek out a second opinion.

Good luck!

on Zyloric, my experience has not been good, i was given a 23 days zyloric course and my uric acid resurfaced when my course got over, like keyzersoce says the best way to go for is to go natural,,, you cd try zyloric and see, who knows it might work, also get a 24 hour urine test done
