Having had Gout for a number of years I would tell anyone that has gout to see their doctor about changing their medication from allopurinol to the newest medication on the market today.

Yes, allopurinol, like all medications, has an expiration date, which is typically printed on the packaging. This date indicates the period during which the manufacturer guarantees the medication's safety and efficacy. Using allopurinol beyond its expiration date may reduce its effectiveness and could pose safety risks. It's important to consult a pharmacist or healthcare provider if you have expired medication.
There are no known treatments for the neurological defects of Lesch-Nyhan. The medication Allopurinol can lower blood uric acid levels. This medication does not correct many of the symptoms.
