Suggest The Dosage Of Allopurinol
I take 300 mg allopurinol for 12 years. During that time I have lost all tori that had hindered mobility, lost 80 pounds and now eat may 1 to 2 pounds of meat per week. Do I still need 300 mg? I have read one of side effects is hair loss and lately mine is getting pretty thin... Is there a test I should take to find if dosage needs adjustment? Never mind, I didn t know had to pay
