Allopurinol generic Use Indication:
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.
