I don’t understand? 😕
“minimal relief” ❓ Allopurinol is for uric acid control, not pain relief.
Medically, there is absolutely no difference between any brand of allopurinol, unless it is one of the combination drugs. Zyloprim is allopurinol. Zyloprim is a Sabela brand, and the one that Walgreens promotes on it’s website. Unfortunately, I’m leaving the USA today, so I won’t have time to check pricing.
Norkin, it sounds like you’re being misled by some poor advice. Why not start a new topic with more details of your experience to date?
