A member asked:

Gout: when on allopurinol, can i drink less fluid than recommended (e. g. 1.5 liter a day ) if i alcalize water? what urine ph is a target?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Wrong info: You do not need to hydrate to a certain volume on Allopurinol because this med reduces the production of uric acid and therefore reduces the amount in the urine.
