Watch out for allopurinol - quite a lot of us have unpleasant side-effects or are allergic to it (maybe 1/3) and I am a bit surprised that it is used so often, TBH - I lost consciousness the last time I took it (just one pill) - if you Google it, you'll see that although it can 'work' for maybe 2/3 of people, 1/3 can have side-effects - sometimes severe. You may well be one of the lucky ones, but be aware and alert to possible reactions. This is a site Llisting patient responses - some good, some not:
