Arbitel contains Telmisartan, which helps in control of blood pressure. Feburic febuxostat which lowers high uric acid. Both these medicines are helpful in control of blood pressure and uric acid respectively.
One common factor for development of increased blood pressure and high uric acid is obesity. Your weight is in excess as compared to your height. You should plan for gradual and slow weight loss as quick weight loss may increase uric acid and can cause kidney stone.
You should limit your salt intake and avoid purine rich foods, organ meat, dried beans and peas, mushrooms , spinach, alcohol, cauliflower.
I think you should continue with the medicines and take precautions as adviced. If you have any furthur doubts, I will be happy to help.
Thanks.
