This topic about allopurinol vs Adenuric is moving to new forums at GoutPal.net.
You can see the latest Adenuric forum posts. But first, you should read Adenuric facts. Also, if you are looking for alternatives to allopurinol, you might consider milk thistle. There’s doubt in this thread. But recent science proves that milk thistle mixed with berberine is an effective allopurinol alternative.
For the best personal help, start a new discussion in the gout forum.
To clarify, Sigman analyzes 5 measurements of male infertility, including Decreased Libido, Erectile Dysfunction, and Fertilization Potential. For both allopurinol and colchicine, the only adverse event recorded was Fertilization Potential.
Also, the report specifically mentions colchicine:
Colchicine has been reported to induce oligospermia; however, this was demonstrated in a study of patients with Beh?et?s disease with long-term exposure. Short-term use in healthy males induced no effect on semen parameters and it is unclear if spermatogenic defects are due to the long-term use or underlying disease.
Finally, the citations for the colchicine facts are:
Sarica K, Suzer O, Gurler A, Baltaci S, Ozdiler E, Dincel C. Urological evaluation of Behcet patients and the effect of colchicine on fertility. Eur Urol. 1995;27:39?42.
Haimov-Kochman R, Ben-Chetrit E. The effect of colchicine treatment on sperm production and function: a review. Hum Reprod. 1998;13:360?362.
I haven’t checked if there is later relevant research. However, if you want me to do so, just ask in the new gout forum.
Please note that we’ve moved discussion of Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitors to the new gout forum. But remember, that is for sharing information to improve GoutPal facts about Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitors.

I’ve just popped in to recommend a new discussion: Improving Uloric Liver Warnings Guidelines for Gout Patients. It’s relevant, as liver function and Uloric are mentioned in this thread. So, if you have thoughts on that, please share them in the new discussion.
There’s a couple of other questions that this thread regularly attracts:
- What is Uloric?
- What is Uloric for?
Short answer: Uloric is a gout medicine to inhibit the production of uric acid. It’s for saving the lives of gout patients. Other life-saving gout medications are available. So, if you need longer, more personal answers, ask in the new gout forum.
@joe (in his Original Post) said: “They also tested my liver because uloric might affect it.”
Joe, I hope everything continues OK for you. Liver problems with Uloric are rare, from the data I’ve seen. But, it’s good to be aware and play safe with annual liver function tests (more frequent when Uloric dose changes).
Anyway, we’re reviewing this at: Improving Uloric Liver Warnings Guidelines for Gout Patients. I hope people interested in liver function and Uloric will join in that discussion.
For other gouty discussions, please post your questions, experiences, and opinions in the new gout forum.
