Simply drinking alkaline water does not lower uric acid. Clinically, if uric acid is elevated, lifestyle adjustments and medications can be taken to lower uric acid.
1. Lifestyle adjustment. Patients with hyperuricemia and gout need to eat a low purine diet and avoid high purine foods such as seafood and animal offal. Drink more water and exercise properly.
2. Drugs. Can be prescribed to take drugs to inhibit uric acid production, such as allopurinol, febuxostat, etc., or prescribed to take drugs to promote uric acid excretion, such as benzbromarone.
In addition, such as sodium bicarbonate, labrylase, etc. can also be used to lower uric acid, it is recommended that patients follow the doctor’s instructions to avoid blind use of drugs.
It is recommended that patients with hyperuricemia and gout actively adjust their lifestyles, go to the hospital regularly, and avoid self-medication under the guidance of doctors to avoid delays or adverse reactions.
