Post thyroidectomy problems with gout medication (allopurinol)

As a result of the FL I have high uric acid levels leading to gout and joint erosion, so my rheumatologist prescribed Allopurinol 100mg, then 200mg, then supposedly 300mg.

How long before Acalabrutinib kicks in?

I did allopurinol for a week prior and told to continue with allopurinol for another 20 days and Calquence forever or until it doesn't work anymore. I went in with platelets slightly less than 100 and RBC almost in the anemic range. ANC not much of a problem at this point.

GP was more interested in my urea levels and prescribed allopurinol which from what I'm reading online I cannot take.

Stopping meds and ascites improving

The last two weeks he has drains 8 litres He had been taking furosemide, vitamin D, Rifarixim, Allopurinol, Sertraline, Quinine, Mirtazepine, Prednisolone and Midodrine. Does anyone have any experience of any of those exacerbating the ascites? Thanks

Venetoclax: The Final Stretch……Do You Have A Uric Acid Problem

So, I’ve decided that with 5 months left on Venetoclax, I am going to roll the dice with the Uric Acid reducer drugs hoping that when I stop Venetoclax the cell death problem will moderate and won’t be so much of an issue. 100 mg of allopurinol a day seems to keep my Uric Acid at just about 7, but

Does PV or taking HU cause gout

I was given a prescription for allopurinol at the same time as I was given the HU prescription. I was told it was to prevent gout. My question, is it routine that everyone who either has PV or is taking HU for PV been prescribed allopurinol? Does it prevent gout in PV patients?

Second Opinion

Depressed Then he prescribed me Hydroxyruea, Aspirin and Allopurinol. I am Jak2 Negative and no longer proceed with other mutation tests. Then days passed, as I take my medicines. I reallystill don't feel well.

Itchy skin

I’m on edoxiban, Entresto, Carvedilol, allopurinol, digoxin and dapaglifozin everyday, with furosemide at my discretion. Anyone experience night time itching with any of these? As soon as I scratch it pops up somewhere else. 🤔

Venetoclax and tiredness

I nearly always fall asleep about an hour after taking the dose of Venetoclax and allopurinol. I'm so disappointed as the whole reason I'm being treated is because of fatigue. Anybody else had this experience?

Colchicine, gout and heart conditions

Recently, after having bad gout flares am going to take allopurinol. The Doctor said that I should start the allopurinol 1 month after my last gout flare up (which I've still got).

Rasburicase/Allopurinol

I had Rasburicase IV, but I am not sure if I should be taking Allopurinol daily at home. I should have asked, too stressed. I am at high risk of TLS, but very little effect on large node yet. Thanks

Acalabrutinib

Eventually was taken off all the other drugs I was taking (Allopurinol, Metoclopramide, Dapsone and Co-Dydramol for headaches). I'm now only taking Acalabrutinib plus Co-codamol and Tramadol for headaches and pain but am seeing my Consultant on Thursday to see where we go from here.

New CLL Regimen after 6 years on Imbruvica

Then I will start Veneteclax early in May, preceded by taking a pill called Allopurinol 4 days before the Venetoclax to protect by kidneys. All this matches all the webinars I have watched on Patient Power and LLS.org so I am praying that my body responds in the right way.
