can involve ulcers of the mouth, throat, nose, genitals and conjunctivitis (red and swollen
eyes). These serious skin rashes are often preceded by influenza-like symptoms fever,
headache, body ache (flu-like symptoms). The rash may progress to widespread blistering
and peeling of the skin. These serious skin reactions can be more common in people of
Han Chinese or Thai or Korean origin. Chronic kidney disease may increase the risk in
these patients additionally. If you develop a rash or these skin symptoms, stop taking
allopurinol and contact your doctor immediately

If you have cancer or Lesch-Nyhan syndrome the amount of uric acid may increase in
your urine. To prevent this, you need to assure to drink sufficiently to dilute your urine.
• In case you have kidney stones, the kidney stones will become smaller and may enter
your urinary tract.

and certain enzyme disorders such as Lesch-Nyhan syndrome.
Tell your doctor if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including

• With administration of allopurinol and cytostatics (e.g. cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin,
