What Are The Side Effects Of Allopurinol?

My son has had (43) his 3rd flare up in last 3 yrs of gout in foot...He has gone to two doctors at the same office and they both declared his blood work showed gout...He was prescribed antibiotics and it is better. He read about c and wanted on it...so they gave him a script today. I was exploring side effects and wondered if this was a safe drug to take every day.
