 is it possible , forget about the how ( the how would be nice but not essential )

 just is it possible

 its about my health here so can anybody give me at least any info

 I wasn't sure whether this should be chemistry or organic-chemistry since it seems to involve both studies

 thanks

Actually, for liability reasons, we're not going to give you health advice.  Its reasonable to have a discussion about biochemistry, but only from a theoretical standpoint.  If you really have an urgent need, you can talk to your doctor.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.

I just did a quick search using PubMed, and a turned up an abstract that indicates that aspirin can increase it slightly, if I am understanding the abstract correctly. 
"At the lowest dosage, aspirin caused a 15% decrease in the rate of UA excretion (P = 0.045 by t-test), which was associated with a slight but significant increase in serum levels of UA (P = 0.009)."
