Does allopurinol contain any sulfa? ## Based on my research, Allopurinol is not listed as a sulfa-containing drug. NOTE: Allopurinol, however, is regarded as one of the leading causes of Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) - a condition that is also linked to many sulfa drugs. Just something I feel more patients should be aware of before taking this medication. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Allopurinol Details I hope this helps to answer your question!

I take ateolol, amlodopine, losartan , watr pill ## Hello, Shirl! How are you? The dosage does need to be taken under consideration for someone that has a kidney problem. Was the prescribing doctor aware of your condition? Learn more Allopurinol details here. And I didn't find any interactions or problems listed between it and the medications you listed, though you should double check this information to be certain, but I can't check it against the diuretic you're taking, since you didn't list which one you are on. Can you post back with the name of it? Thanks! ## diuretic- triamenteren-hydrochl...
