Therapeutic indications:

· Allopurinol is mainly used in the management of primary gout or secondary hyperuricaemia associated with chronic gout. It is not, however, used to treat an acute attack of gout as it has no analgesic, antiinflammatory or uricosuric activity and may prolong the attack. If changing therapy from a uricosuric agent alone, the dose should be reduced gradually while allopurinol is introduced. In severe cases of chronic gout, allopurinol can be used together with a uricosuric agent unless the latter is contra-indicated.
