Does overdosage of Allopurinol have adverse effect on health?
Patient: Hi, My husband has been prescribed allopurinol for gout and I have just discovered that he has been taking double the prescribed dosage, probably for a few months now. He is also taking Coversyl for blood pressure and Lengout for gout. Are there any health risks associated with him taking double the required dosage of allopurinol? Doctor: patient is taking colchicine(lengout). so it must be acute gout. in acute gout allopurinol should not be used.rather it can precipitate acute gout .double dose will increase the risk further.
