Do you have to take uric acid medicine for life?

Uric acid medication needs to be taken for life, the main reason is that it is difficult for high uric acid in the body to fall to normal on its own. There is no cure for hyperuricemia, so patients need to take uric acid-lowering drugs for life to improve uric acid metabolism to control blood uric acid, so as to improve the patient’s condition, to avoid exacerbation of the disease, and effectively prevent complications. Uric acid-lowering drugs mainly include drugs that inhibit uric acid production such as febuxostat, and drugs that promote uric acid excretion such as benzbromarone. These drugs can play a good role in lowering uric acid. In addition to medication, diet is also very important to low purine diet, drink more water, try not to eat animal offal and seafood and other high purine food. Although uric acid-lowering drugs need to be taken for a long time, but in the case of uric acid stabilization, the dosage of drugs can be reduced under the guidance of the doctor.
