Any doctors available? I'm confused by this statement.

Tried Zyloric on daily basis but this can raise your Uric acid levels if already high.

Zyloric is a brand name for Allopurinol. My understanding of this is that you take this is to reduce your Uric acid level.

However, the specialist will I'm sure, test for the levels in your blood.

One of the main points about Allopurinol is that it takes time to make a change. Starting it again after a break could even cause a flare-up of the symptoms. From memory Feldene (Piroxicam) is or was used for the flare-ups.
