Can I just take predmet 8 mg twice a day instead of the 16 mg my doctor prescribed? The 8 mg is the only strength available here. Is it going to be the same?

View allI've been dealing with high uric acid levels and was at around 7.6 a couple of months ago. After starting on zyloric 100 mg tablets daily, it's dropped to 6. But I'm still struggling with a burning sensation in my feet. My uncle, who's a doctor, suggested I try Rejunuron injections, so I took five doses of the 500 mcg injection. Even with that, the burning feeling hasn't gone away. Could you help me understand why this might still be happening and what steps I could take to get rid of this annoying burning in my feet?
That could be Peripheral neuropathy,take vit B12 shot once in a week for 4 weeks and later alternate weeks and also massage your feet by placing them in warm salt water at bed time tjis would help,if its still becoming worse visit Physician for medical treatment

I'm a bit concerned about my health. Recently, I noticed my folic acid levels are over 20, and I used to have high HDL but it's under control now. However, I'm experiencing some numbness in my joints. Could there be a connection between these things? Should I be worried?
Large amounts of folic acid can mask the damaging effects of vitamin B12 deficiency . There are indications that high serum folate levels might not only mask vitamin B12 deficiency, but could also exacerbate the anemia and worsen the cognitive symptoms and neurological symptoms associated with vitamin B12 deficiency. Low levels of B12 can cause numbness and tingling sensation, paresthesia(neuropathies). If B12 levels are normal then you need to orthopedician to look for bone disorders.
