Dear patient. Febuget has Eurostat which is a medicine which blocks the activity of Antoine oxidase and prevents uric acid build up. Normal Uric acid levels are 2.4-6.0 mg/DL (female) and 3.4-7.0 mg/DL (male). Normal values will vary from laboratory to laboratory. Also, important to blood uric acid levels are purines. So your uric acid is on the higher side. This medication is contraindicated for acute gout and generally given for chronic and intergout periods.Your heal pain may be a due to worsening of stenosis due to high uric acid which will probably subside once you take the Chat Doctor. Nausea and gastric unease is common with this medication.Hence, I suggest that you continue to take this medication and if the pain is severe take ibuprofen 800\u00a0mg stat. Also and I can't stress this enough please discuss the side effects of debut with your doctor and inform him/her about you taking ibuprofen
