You can see I’ve added quite a lot of allopurinol gout treatment information recently, both here and on GoutPal.com. It’s no coincidence that I have also been accepted as an expert author for top article publishing website, ezinearticles.com.
I would really appreciate it if you would check out my article about allopurinol and gout. I’ve tried to concentrate on the key points of this vital gout cure. Please let me know what you think about it. You can add comments here, discuss in the forum, send me a private message, or even comment directly on the article itself.
Please don’t hold back. Of course I’d love to get some praise, but I really want to know what you think, so that I can improve for future articles.

After taking alipurinol for several days, broke out in a rash that covered both legs. Front and back. Stopped taking medication and the progress of rash stopped that has taken a long time to go away.
Rash is a common side-effect of allopurinol. That is one reason why dosage should start at 50-100 mg/day and increase every few weeks.
If you have been advised properly, your doctor will recommend an alternative uric acid lowering drug on your next visit, which should have been scheduled for a few weeks after your first visit.
If in doubt consult a rheumatologist.
i am right now suffering from gout in my left hand and some in my right hand. I also have peripheral neuropathy. I am not sue if I want to take allipurinal or not. The nurse praticioner did not give me some pain pills for the gout. Althogh last year my doctor in Albuquerque gavr me a prescription that stopped the pain and the emergency room gave me some type of shot that stopped the pain in minutes. What was it> I am not comfortablr with the nurse practicioner. She is a nice lady but from wat I am reading on line I am not sjure that taking it is a good idea. Shoul I consult with myh neurologist before i start takng it. Sincerely, Jackie
sorr about typing errors hand not working well.
Take the allopurinol, but make sure it is being monitored properly.
You start with a low dose, and get frequent blood tests to adjust the dose so that uric acid level stays below 6mg/dL.
If you are not sure about this, please discuss your thoughts about allopurinol in the gout cures forum.
