Hi,
Marginal elevation of uric acid may not require tablets to reduce the uric acid. Adequate hydration. Avoid red meat if nonvegetarian. Avoid alcohol if you are consuming. Avoid tea.
When you have joint pain better to take painkillers like ibuprofen, indomethacin. If uric acid is very high like more than 10 may require febuxostat.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
