What drug should one take with or before allopurinol?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Preventive: Colchicine (aka Colcrys in the us), Aleve (naproxen) or other nsaids, or low dose Prednisone are acceptable drugs to prevent gout flares while starting allopurinol. Ask your doctor which is best for you.
