I'm 54 years old and dealing with thyroid issues and high uric acid levels. Currently, I'm taking Thyronorm 25 and Ubexa 40 for these conditions. My recent tests showed a TSH level of 9.90 and a uric acid level of 8. My cardiologist has also prescribed me several other medications like Nikoran OD 10, Clopitorva 20, and Dilzem CD 90. On top of all this, I'm taking Glimisave 1 for blood sugar and Tazloc H for blood pressure. I'm really worried about being on so many medications. Is there a way to reduce the number of pills I'm taking? What should I do?

I see that you are currently taking Thyronorm 25 for your thyroid, Ubexa 40 for uric acid, Nikoran OD 10, Clopitorva 20, Dilzem CD 90 for your heart, Glimisave 1 for blood sugar, and Tazloc H for blood pressure. Your recent test results show a TSH level of 9.90 and a uric acid level of 8. To address your thyroid issue, your TSH level is high, indicating hypothyroidism, so your Thyronorm dosage may need to be adjusted. For high uric acid, you can continue taking Ubexa 40 and also consider adding Allopurinol 100mg to lower the levels. To streamline your medication regimen, you can discuss with your healthcare provider about potentially adjusting or discontinuing certain medications based on your current health status and test results. It's important to regularly follow up with your healthcare provider to monitor your conditions and make any necessary changes to your treatment plan.
