Hello
Thanks for query.
Your cardiologist has advised you to drink less water to avoid load on heart that resulting into increase uric acid levels.
You need to take minimum 2-5 liters to 3 liters of water every day to maintain water and electrolyte balance in the body.
You can take Zyluric once daily to avoid raising serum uric acid level.
Thanks
