About two months ago my doctor put me on long term allopurinol (300 mg daily) after four days on colechine, since I ve had attacks of gout. Now I seem to take about 2-3 nose bleeds a week.....nothing serious.....they stop in about 5 minutes after I pinch my nose. I ve never had nose bleeds before. I am male, and 62 years. Do you think this medication is causing the nose bleeds?
