Hi Simon,
There’s lots of alternatives to allopurinol for controlling uric acid levels.
It’s important to control uric acid to stop it getting worse. As well as more gout pain, untreated uric acid crystals cause serious damage to your body.
Tell me more about your allopurinol allergy.
What did your doctor say?
Have you tried any other uric acid lowering treatment?
Did you find the personal help you need with your gout?
All you need to do is log in to GoutPal and ask your gout questions.
I will help you understand and manage your gout.
If you did not find the personal gout help that you need, please tell me:
