Why is this Allopurinol prescribed?
Allopurinol is used to treat chronic gout and to keep the body from producing excessive amounts of uric acid, which could lead to or aggravate various medical problems. It is used to prevent gout attacks, not to treat them once they occur.
This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
How should Allopurinol be used?
Allopurinol comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It usually is taken once a day, preferably after a meal. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take allopurinol exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Allopurinol may increase the frequency of gout attacks during the first 6-12 months that you take it, although it will eventually prevent them. Another drug, such as colchicine, may be prescribed to decrease this effect.
What special precautions should I follow when taking Allopurinol?
Before taking allopurinol, tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to allopurinol or any other drugs.
tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications you are taking, especially amoxicillin (Amoxil, Trimox), ampicillin (Polycillin, Principen), anticoagulants ('blood thinners'), cancer chemotherapy agents (azathioprine, mercaptopurine, cyclophosphamide), chlorpropamide (Diabinese), co-trimoxazole (Bactrim, Septra), diuretics ('water pills'), medication for high blood pressure, theophylline (Theo-Dur), and vitamins.
tell your doctor if you have or have ever had kidney disease, liver disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes.
tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking allopurinol, call your doctor.
ask your doctor for advice on drinking alcoholic beverages, as alcohol may reduce the effectiveness of allopurinol.
What special dietary instructions should I follow for Allopurinol?
Drink at least eight glasses of water or other fluids each day while taking allopurinol unless directed to do otherwise by your doctor.
Avoid excessive amounts of vitamin C supplements or fruit juice while taking allopurinol. Too much vitamin C in combination with allopurinol may increase your chance of developing kidney stones.
