what is the max dose for allopurinol
Allopurinol Dosage Dosage for Gout To help avoid a flare-up of gout attacks (which can occur when starting allopurinol), it is recommended to start at a low dosage for treating gout: allopurinol 100 mg once daily. After that, your healthcare provider may increase your dose by 100 mg per day each week, until the maximum dose is reached (800 mg daily) or until your uric acid levels are under control (are 6 mg/dL or less). People with kidney disease should take a lower dose, depending on the severity of their kidney problems.
