Gout Allopurinol

If you have gout, allopurinol is a common, effective, treatment that reduces uric acid, preventing future attacks.

Though alternative treatments are being developed, allopurinol is currently the best treatment available.

You can get involved in trials of this gout treatment if you live near Oviedo, FL. For other areas, see the links on the clinical trial summary page that I mention below.
