Allopurinol Science
The most important research about allopurinol is contained within the 2020 Gout Management Guideline. Where rheumatologists in conjunction with gout patients recommend that allopurinol is the preferred uric acid treatment. Also, that it should be started at a dose not exceeding 100 mg per day. Health professionals might advise other strategies. But they must explain why and also listen to your concerns if you want to suggest an alternative strategy.

Allopurinol Spelling
At the beginning of the facts list I explained how search is important to find facts about your questions and concerns. So it is vital that you spell allopurinol correctly. Also, avoid brand names in favor of the correct drug name. Otherwise, your search results may be incomplete.
To help you use the correct spelling for allopurinol, here are common misspellings and brand names.
- Misspellings: alipurinal; allipurinal; allopurinal; allunopril; allupirol; aloperinal; alu purinol; alupronol; alupropinol; alupurin; alupurionol; appurinol; appurinol; purinal.
- Brand names: APO-Allopurinol; Puricos; Purinol; Zyloprim; Zyloric.
So instead of searching for any of those terms, substitute “allopurinol” for the term. For example, instead of searching for “allunopril facts”, search for “allopurinol facts”.
