question: My husband is a gout patient. On 22 nov, 2011, he was given amloguard 5 mg for high bp. His Uric acid levels was also high at that time . So he is taking feburic 80 in combination with amloguard 5 mg. But since he started both the tablets he is getting acute gout attacks with swollen ankles more than before. The irony is that his Uric acid level is now 2.5 , which used to be as high as 10 before taking feburic 80 ,and still he is getting gout attack. I feel that this is somewhere connected with amloguard because before also he used to take feburic, but since this november after starting amloguard the gout attacks increased very substantially. Pl advice,,
