- Allopurinol is the best drug for gout. But, only if you use it correctly, and most doctors don't know the latest guidelines.
Discuss the right way to use allopurinol for gout:
- - Include your allopurinol prescription dose details.
- - Say what other gout drugs you are taking.
- - Do you have drugs for any other health problems?
- - Don't forget supplements and herbal medicines.
- - Include your latest uric acid. Also add your uric acid history and targets if you can.
