No, it is a uric acid inhibitor. By inhibiting the production of uric acid, it lessens the likelihood of having a gout attack, but in and of itself, it is not a pain reliever.
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. It is called Uloric and hands down it beats and is safer than Allopurinol. Uloric just became available in February of 2009 when it was finally approved by the FDA after careful study.
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.
Allopurinol is a medication primarily used to lower uric acid levels in conditions like gout and certain types of kidney stones. Contraindications for allopurinol include a known hypersensitivity to the drug, severe liver or kidney impairment, and concurrent use of medications that may interact adversely with it. Patients with a history of allopurinol-induced hypersensitivity reactions should also avoid its use. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting or stopping any 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.

Personally I have experienced anxiety and increased low stress tolerance after taking Allopurinol. My doctor said it happens to around 2% of patients. I tried to switch to Uloric but it cause an abnormal heart rythim. Currently searching for another medication to replace it.
You should ask your doctor to get the best medication for your pain taking into account the possible cause of the pain.
Using allopurinol after its expiration date is not recommended, as the potency and safety of the medication may be compromised. While some medications may still be effective past their expiration, allopurinol's effectiveness in managing conditions like gout could be uncertain, potentially leading to inadequate treatment. It's best to consult with a healthcare professional for guidance and to obtain a fresh supply if needed.
