I spent a couple of years taking allopurinol starting with 100mg and over a year working my way up to 400mg along with trying to tame the weekly flares with naproxen, ibuprofen, colchicine(colcrys) etc… Switched to 40mg of uloric and after 1 month went to 80mg and never had a issue since and it’s been over 3 years. My uric acid level has maintained in the 3s. I spent years doing blood work every 90 days and now I go once a year. I signed up to the uloric website for a discount and it cost me $15.00 for a 90 day supply. I know it’s doesn’t work for everybody because my buddy deals with gout and I got him on Uloric and nothing but flares for over a year he switched to allopurinol and no more gout. Just the opposite of me but uloric sure changed my life.
I found that if you go to ulorics website you can get a discount card for $25 off each time you fill your percription. If you don't want to wait for them to send you a discount card try your pharmacy. Mine had a uloric discount?card that?I called?ulorics automated service to active while?I waited.?For a 30 day supply of uloric I was paying about?$30 so about $1 per pill this is at cvs with private insurance they couldn't quote me without insurance because they said there is no generic for uloric. But for allopurinol it was less expensive without insurance than with insurance. Sure dosent make much sense to me but whatever. With $25 off i'm paying $5 which is about the same as allopurinol. My doctor writes me for a 90 day percription so I just pick up 30 days at a time so I can use the $25 off each one.
