My local dispensers tell me 100 mg tablets are no longer available from any manufacturer, even though the 300 mg tablets are still available. Does anyone know anything about this? ## My husband just had bunion surgery this morning and the doctor informed us he also found gout when the toe was opened however, you say your local dispensers tell you that 100 mg tables are not longer available but I had to pick up a RX for him when he left the hospital and it was for Allopurinol 100mg. We got it filled at a wal-greens pharmacy ## AS of November 6, 2014, Express-Scripts does not have ANY Allopurinol 300 mg OR 100 mg. The E-S druggist told me that they haven't had any 300 mg since January 2014. The customer service at E-S told me to get it at a local pharmacy and then deleted my prescript...

This pill was found in my backyard after a party... It has no scoring on it and is round and smooth... ## The pill is Allopurinol. The primary use of allopurinol is to treat hyperuricemia (excess uric acid in blood plasma) and its complications. Allopurinol does not alleviate acute attacks of gout, but is useful in chronic gout to prevent future attacks. If someone is partying with this pill, they will be disappointed for sure. ## Hi I have some tablets that are white and round small they have mp60 on one side and nothing on the other . The packet has only one word metweat

I have found 2 different pills in with some of my other meds. Both are small, round and both white 1) with AW and scored on back. 2) same except M on front and R11 on back. I thought his generic pills had changed and put in same bottle ## Hello, Meme! How are you? The white one with the AW marking is manufactured by Accord Healthcare and they list it as containing 100mgs of Allopurinol, it is most commonly used to treat gout. The one with the M R11 marking is manufactured by Mylan Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 1mgs of Risperidone, which is used to treat various mental health issues. The FDA lists the side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, somnolence, and weight gain. Are these medications he usually takes?

Do allopurinol 100 mg,triamterene- hctz 37.5-25 mg ,and tremodol all interact ok with each other ## Hello, Dtfancy! How are you? I didn't find any interactions listed between these medications in the MedScape database, but it's always best to double check such information to be certain. Tramadol is listed by the FDA as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Triam/HCTZ is most commonly used to lower high blood pressure and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain and dehydration. Allopurinol is used to treat gout and some types of kidney stones, it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, fever and easy bruising. Is t...

Since uric acid is considered an antioxidant that lowers the occurrence of free radicals one could assume that uric acid decreasing substances like Allopurinol should increase cancer incidence? Has anyone done any studies? Are there any databases to look for any correlation? If Allopurinol does not give cancer then the only argument against keeping the current level of uric acid in blood is invalidated.

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!
