The dosage of allopurinol depends on many patient-specific factors that should be discussed with your doctor. In general, this medication is started at 100 mg daily and will be increased depending on symptoms. Many people are treated with normal kidney function are treated with 300 mg a day, although the dose may go up to 800 mg a day.
