Are There Any Side Effects Of Taking 200 Mg Of Allopurinol?
My renal physician has increased my allopurinol daily dose of 100 mg to 200 mg. This along with two other recommended strategies for treating very small uric acid stones in the kidney left behind after a lithotripsy operation last September. The other strategies: take 2 Sodium bicarbonate (1.45 g) sachets per day and, drink plenty of water. My question is I ve just been to the dentist and she says there on the inside of both of my cheeks are two bands (one on each side) of white-yellowy dots. And doesn t know what they are. Could it be the result of an increased allopurinol dose?

Allopurinol dose must have increased to decrease the uric acid levels. Sodium bicarbonate also reduces the stone formation by making the urine alkaline.
The bands in your mouth dont seem to be related to the increased dose of allopurinol.
