6 years ago, I was having about 1 gout attack a month in my feet and ankles, which would last for up to 2 weeks. The attacks were so bad I would end up on the floor in tears. I've broken many bones and had sprains due to my athletic lifestyle. The gout pain is/was by far was the most painful of anything I've experienced. I started on 100 mg of Allopurinol for 2 months, but the attacks still came. ...
i had taken this for gout attacks but found out this drug was taken off the market, please tell me why. thank you. charles moore

For one month it was great then I had a severe skin reaction-rash everywhere but especially on bony areas and the scalp was itchy beyond relief and started loosing my hair-took me 6 months to recover.
