3 Weeks Wasted from Late Starting Allopurinol media is my featured image for Allopurinol question. The question is “Should I start allopurinol now, or wait until all pain is gone”?

The answer, from Start Allopurinol Quickly, But Carefully, is “Start allopurinol now”!

3 Weeks Wasted from Late Starting Allopurinol media details

3 Weeks Wasted from Late Starting Allopurinol media is figure 2 from the report I explained in Start Allopurinol Quickly, But Carefully. The report is “Initiation of Allopurinol at First Medical Contact for Acute Attacks of Gout: A Randomized Clinical Trial” from The American journal of medicine, November 2012 by Thomas H Taylor and colleagues.

It shows that delaying the start of allopurinol treatment only serve to delay the start of gout recovery.
