Pharmacologic Category
Antigout Agent; Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitor
Dosing: Adult
Note: Before prescribing allopurinol, consider testing for the HLA-B*5801 allele in patients at elevated risk for developing severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCAR) (including Korean patients with CKD ≥ stage 3 and all patients of Han Chinese or Thai descent). A negative HLA-B*5801 genetic test, however, does not entirely rule out the possibility of allopurinol-associated SCAR, so patients should still be appropriately monitored for SCAR, as well as other forms of hypersensitivity (ACR [Khanna 2012a]; Quach 2018; Saito 2016). Some experts suggest screening in all patients of Korean ethnicity regardless of renal function. Use should be avoided in any patient testing positive for the allele (Becker 2019).
Gout, treatment (chronic urate-lowering therapy): Oral: Note: Starting urate-lowering therapy (ULT) can precipitate acute gout; while typically avoided, ULT may be initiated during a flare in selected patients in conjunction with an anti-inflammatory agent. Pharmacologic prophylaxis with colchicine or an NSAID is generally recommended for the first 3 to 6 months once serum urate goal is achieved with ULT (ACR [Khanna 2012b]; Becker 2019).
Initial: 100 mg once daily (ACR [Khanna 2012a]; EULAR [Richette 2017])
Dosage adjustments: Titrate in 100 mg increments every 2 to 4 weeks to achieve the desired serum uric acid level (EULAR [Richette 2017]; Jennings 2014).
Maintenance: Doses ≥300 mg/day are usually needed to reach the desired uric acid target; doses up to 800 mg/day may be required (EULAR [Richette 2017]; Jennings 2014).
Maximum: 800 mg/day
Frequency of administration: Once daily in a single dose or in 2 or 3 divided doses. Note: The manufacturer's labeling recommends doses >300 mg be given in divided doses; however, most experts prescribe a single daily dose, regardless of total dose administered, except during a brief period (eg, when initiating or titrating therapy) when divided doses may help improve GI tolerability (Becker 2019; Currie 1978).
Nephrolithiasis, prevention of recurrent calcium or uric acid stones:
Due to calcium oxalate stones: Patients with hyperuricosuria (who continue to have active disease despite attempted dietary modification): Oral: 300 mg/day, usually given in a single daily dose but may be given in 2 or 3 divided doses, if needed, to improve GI tolerability (Curhan 2018a; Ettinger 1986; Lipkin 2011).
Due to uric acid stones (off-label use): Oral: 300 mg/day, usually given in a single daily dose but may be given in 2 or 3 divided doses, if needed, to improve GI tolerability; use is reserved for patients who continue to have active disease despite urinary alkalinization therapy and increased hydration (Curhan 2018b; Heilberg 2016; Kenny 2010; Lipkin 2011).
Tumor lysis syndrome, prevention: Patients at intermediate risk for tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) and without preexisting hyperuricemia (serum uric acid ≥8 mg/dL [476 micromol/L]):
Note: Aggressive IV hydration should always be initiated prior to cytotoxic therapy in patients at elevated risk for TLS (Coiffier 2008).
Oral: 300 mg/m2/day or 10 mg/kg/day, given in 3 divided doses every 8 hours (maximum: 800 mg/day). Begin therapy 1 to 2 days before the start of induction chemotherapy and may continue for up to 3 to 7 days after chemotherapy until normalization of laboratory evidence of TLS (eg, serum uric acid, serum LDH) (Coiffier 2008; Larson 2018).
IV: 200 to 400 mg/m2/day, given in a single daily dose or in 2 or 3 divided doses (maximum: 600 mg/day). Begin therapy 1 to 2 days before the start of induction chemotherapy and may continue for 3 to 7 days after chemotherapy until normalization of laboratory evidence of TLS (eg, serum uric acid, serum LDH) (Coiffier 2008; Larson 2018).

Dosing: Geriatric
Refer to adult dosing.
Dosing: Renal Impairment: Adult
Note: Renal impairment, particularly when a higher allopurinol starting dose and/or concomitant diuretics are used, is a risk factor for allopurinol hypersensitivity syndrome (AHS), a rare but potentially life-threatening systemic syndrome (Stamp 2016). In addition, the HLA-B*5801 allele is associated with an increased risk of allopurinol-induced severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCAR); Korean patients with CKD ≥ stage 3 and all patients of Han Chinese or Thai descent (regardless of renal function) are at increased risk for carrying this allele. Avoid allopurinol in any patient testing positive for this allele (ACR [Khanna 2012a; Becker 2019). To minimize the risk of AHS in patients with renal impairment (in the absence of the HLA-B*5801 allele or in those not at high risk for carrying this allele), the following dosage adjustments are recommended:
Gout, treatment (chronic urate-lowering therapy):
CrCl >60 mL/minute:No dosage adjustment necessary (Becker 2019).
CrCl ≤60 mL/minute: Various strategies exist:
Expert opinion: CKD ≥ stage 3 (CrCl ≤60 mL/minute): Oral: Initial: <1.5 mg per unit of eGFR (eg, for an eGFR of 50 mL/minute/1.73 m2, the initial dose should not exceed 75 mg daily). Doses may be increased in increments of ≤50 mg/day at intervals of every 4 weeks to the minimum daily dose necessary to achieve the goal urate-lowering effect (Becker 2019; Stamp 2016).
ACR guidelines: CKD ≥ stage 4 (CrCl ≤30 mL/minute): Oral: Initial: 50 mg once daily. Dose may be increased gradually to achieve the desired serum uric acid level; doses >300 mg/day are permitted as long as they are accompanied by appropriate monitoring for potential toxicity (eg, pruritus, rash, elevated hepatic transaminases) (ACR [Khanna 2012a]).
EULAR guidelines: Oral: Maximum dosage should be adjusted to creatinine clearance as per product labeling. If the desired serum uric acid level cannot be achieved at this dose, consider switching to an alternative agent (eg, febuxostat) (EULAR [Richette 2016]).
Hemodialysis patients: Allopurinol and oxypurinol are dialyzable. Initial: Oral: 100 mg on alternate days given postdialysis, increase cautiously to 300 mg based on response. If dialysis is on a daily basis, an additional 50% of the dose may be required postdialysis (Dalbeth 2007).
Tumor lysis syndrome, prevention: Dosage reduction of 50% is recommended in renal impairment (Coiffier 2008).
Dosing: Hepatic Impairment: Adult
There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling.
Dosing: Pediatric
Note: Dosing presenting in multiple formats (mg/m2/dose, mg/m2/day, mg/kg/day, and a fixed mg dose); take extra precautions to ensure accuracy. Before prescribing allopurinol, consider testing for the HLA-B*5801 allele in patients at elevated risk for developing severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCAR) (including Koreans with CKD ≥ stage 3 and all patients of Han Chinese or Thai descent). A negative HLA-B*5801 genetic test, however, does not entirely rule out the possibility of allopurinol-associated SCAR, so patients should still be appropriately monitored for SCAR, as well as other forms of hypersensitivity (ACR [Khanna 2012a]; Quach 2018; Saito 2016). Some experts suggest screening in all patients of Korean ethnicity regardless of renal function. Use should be avoided in any patient testing positive for the allele (Becker 2018).
Hyperuricemia associated with chemotherapy management: Maintain adequate hydration; begin allopurinol 1 to 2 days before initiation of induction chemotherapy; may continue for 3 to 7 days after chemotherapy (Coiffier 2008); daily doses >300 mg should be administered in divided doses:
Oral:
Manufacturer's labeling:
Children <6 years: 150 mg daily
Children 6 to 10 years: 300 mg daily
Children >10 years and Adolescents: 600 to 800 mg daily for 2 to 3 days in 2 to 3 divided doses
Alternate dosing: Tumor lysis syndrome; intermediate-risk: Limited data available (Coiffier 2008): Infants, Children, and Adolescents:
Weight-directed dosing: 10 mg/kg/day divided every 8 hours; maximum daily dose: 800 mg/day
BSA-directed dosing: 50 to 100 mg/m2/dose every 8 hours; maximum daily dose: 300 mg/m2/day
IV: For patients unable to tolerate oral therapy (BSA-directed dosing):
Manufacturer's labeling: Children and Adolescents: Initial: 200 mg/m2/day administered once daily or in equally divided doses at 6-, 8-, or 12-hour intervals
Alternate dosing: Tumor lysis syndrome; intermediate-risk: Limited data available: Infants, Children, and Adolescents: 200 to 400 mg/m2/day in 1 to 3 divided doses; maximum daily dose: 600 mg/day (Coiffier 2008)
Hyperuricemia associated with inborn errors of purine metabolism (Lesch-Nyhan syndrome): Limited data available: Oral: Infants, Children, and Adolescents: Initial: 5 to 10 mg/kg/day; adjust dose to maintain a high-normal serum uric acid concentration and a urinary uric acid/creatinine ratio <1; reported range: 3.7 to 9.7 mg/kg/day; usual maximum daily dose: 600 mg/day (Torres 2007a; Torres 2007b).
Recurrent calcium oxalate renal stones (including glycogen storage disease): Limited data available: Oral: Children and Adolescents: 4 to 10 mg/kg/day in divided doses 3 to 4 times daily; maximum daily dose: 300 mg/day (Copelvitch 2012; Santos-Victoriano 1998)
Dosing: Renal Impairment: Pediatric
Allopurinol and oxypurinol are dialyzable.
Infants, Children, and Adolescents: There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling; however, the following guidelines have been used by some clinicians:
Management of hyperuricemia associated with chemotherapy: Oral, IV:
Aronoff 2007:
CrCl 30 to 50 mL/minute/1.73 m2: Administer 50% of normal dose.
GFR 10 to 29 mL/minute/1.73 m2: Administer 50% of normal dose.
GFR <10 mL/minute/1.73 m2: Administer 30% of normal dose.
Intermittent hemodialysis: Administer 30% of normal dose.
Peritoneal dialysis: Administer 30% of normal dose.
Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT): Administer 50% of normal dose.
Coiffier 2008: Dosage reduction of 50% is recommended in renal impairment.
Dosing: Hepatic Impairment: Pediatric
There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling.
Calculations
Use: Labeled Indications
Oral:
Gout, treatment: Management of primary or secondary gout (acute attack, tophi, joint destruction, uric acid lithiasis, and/or nephropathy)
Guideline recommendations: EULAR guidelines: Urate-lowering therapy (ULT) (eg, allopurinol) is indicated in all patients with recurrent flares, tophi, urate arthropathy, and/or renal stones. ULT initiation is recommended close in time to first diagnosis in patients presenting at a young age (<40 years of age) or with very high serum uric acid levels (>8 mg/dL) and/or comorbidities (eg, renal impairment, hypertension, ischemic heart disease, heart failure) (EULAR [Richette 2017]).
Nephrolithiasis, prevention of recurrent calcium stones: Management in patients with hyperuricosuria (uric acid excretion >800 mg/day in men and >750 mg/day in women)
Tumor lysis syndrome, prevention: Management of hyperuricemia associated with cancer treatment for leukemia, lymphoma, and other malignancies
Limitations of use: Allopurinol is not recommended for the treatment of asymptomatic hyperuricemia. Allopurinol reduces serum and urinary uric acid concentrations; its use should be individualized for each patient and requires an understanding of its mode of action and pharmacokinetics.
IV:
Tumor lysis syndrome, prevention: Management of hyperuricemia associated with cancer treatment for leukemia, lymphoma, or solid tumor malignancies in patients who cannot tolerate oral therapy.

Medication Safety Issues
Sound-alike/look-alike issues:
Contraindications
Severe hypersensitivity reaction to allopurinol or any component of the formulation
Canadian labeling: Additional contraindications (not in the US labeling): Breastfeeding mothers and children (except those with cancer therapy-induced hyperuricemia or Lesch-Nyhan syndrome)
Note: To avoid the risk of severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCAR), HLA-B*5801-positive patients should avoid allopurinol (Becker 2019; Saito 2016). The American College of Rheumatology recommends HLA-B*5801 screening in patients at elevated risk for SCAR, including patients of Korean descent who have CKD ≥ stage 3, as well as patients of Han Chinese or Thai descent regardless of kidney function (ACR [Khanna 2012a]). Some experts suggest screening in all patients of Korean ethnicity regardless of renal function (Becker 2019).
Warnings/Precautions
Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Bone marrow suppression: Bone marrow suppression has been reported in patients receiving allopurinol, most of whom received concomitant medications with a potential for hematologic toxicity. The onset occurs between 6 weeks to 6 years after allopurinol initiation. Varying degrees of bone marrow depression affecting one or more cell lines may occur (rare) in patients receiving allopurinol alone.
• CNS effects: May occasionally cause drowsiness; patients must be cautioned about performing tasks that require mental alertness (eg, operating machinery or driving).
• Hepatotoxicity: Cases of hepatotoxicity (reversible) have been reported. Asymptomatic elevations of serum alkaline phosphatase or serum transaminases have been observed. Monitor for signs/symptoms of hepatotoxicity and evaluate liver function if they occur. Periodic liver function tests are recommended during the early stages of therapy in patients with preexisting hepatic impairment.
• Hypersensitivity: Use has been associated with a variety of hypersensitivity reactions, ranging from mild with maculopapular eruption (MPE) to severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCAR), including Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN), drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), and the potentially life-threatening systemic manifestation, allopurinol hypersensitivity syndrome (AHS) (Stamp 2016). In some instances, a skin rash may be followed by more severe hypersensitivity reactions; discontinue at first sign of skin rash or other signs indicative of allergic reaction. Consider HLA-B*5801 testing prior to initiation of therapy in patients at elevated risk for SCAR (including Korean patients with CKD ≥ stage 3 and all patients of Han Chinese and Thai descent regardless of renal function) (ACR [Khanna 2012a]). Some experts suggest screening in patients of Korean ethnicity regardless of renal function. Avoid allopurinol in any patient testing positive for the allele (Becker 2019).
Disease-related concerns:
• Acute gout attacks: Even when normal or subnormal serum uric acid levels have been attained, an increase in acute gout attacks has been reported during the early stages of allopurinol administration. When allopurinol is initiated, maintenance colchicine doses should generally be administered as prophylaxis. Additionally, it is recommended to initiate with a low allopurinol dose (100 mg daily) and increase at weekly intervals by 100 mg until a serum uric acid level of 6 mg/dL or less is attained (do not exceed the maximum recommended dose of 800 mg/day). In some cases, colchicine or anti-inflammatory agents may be required to suppress gouty attacks. After several months of therapy, attacks usually decrease in duration and severity. These episodes may be due to mobilization of urates from tissue deposits, causing fluctuations in the serum uric acid levels. Even with adequate allopurinol therapy, several months may be required to deplete the uric acid pool enough to achieve control of the acute attacks.
• Renal impairment: Dose reductions are recommended in patients with renal impairment; monitor closely. Patients with reduced renal function receiving thiazide diuretics in combination with allopurinol may be at increased risk for hypersensitivity reactions. Some patients with preexisting renal disease or poor urate clearance have shown a rise in BUN with allopurinol. Patients with renal impairment should be carefully monitored during the early stages of allopurinol treatment; reduce the dose or withdraw therapy if increased renal function abnormalities appear and persist. Renal failure associated with allopurinol has been observed in patients with hyperuricemia secondary to neoplastic diseases. Concurrent conditions including multiple myeloma and congestive myocardial disease were present among patients whose renal dysfunction increased after allopurinol was begun. Renal failure is also frequently associated with gouty nephropathy and rarely with hypersensitivity reactions associated with allopurinol. Albuminuria has been observed among patients who developed clinical gout following chronic glomerulonephritis and chronic pyelonephritis.
Concurrent drug therapy issues:
• Drug-drug interactions: Potentially significant drug interactions may exist, requiring dose or frequency adjustment, additional monitoring, and/or selection of alternative therapy. Consult drug interactions database for more detailed information.
• Concomitant medications: Concomitant use of allopurinol (at doses of 300 to 600 mg/day) with mercaptopurine or azathioprine will require a reduction in the mercaptopurine or azathioprine dose to approximately one-third to one-fourth of the usual dose. Subsequent dose adjustments may be necessary based on therapeutic response and toxicity.
Other warnings/precautions:
• Hydration: For tumor lysis syndrome prevention, administer aggressive fluids sufficient to maintain adequate hydration and urinary output (Coiffier 2008). For other indications, fluid intake sufficient to yield a daily urinary output of at least 2 L and maintenance of a neutral or (preferably) a slightly alkaline urine are desirable in order to avoid possible formation of xanthine calculi due to allopurinol therapy and to help prevent renal urate precipitation in patients receiving concomitant uricosuric agents.
* See Cautions in AHFS Essentials for additional information.
Geriatric Considerations
Adjust dose based on renal function.
Pregnancy Considerations
Allopurinol crosses the placenta (Torrance 2009).
Information related to allopurinol in pregnancy is limited. Based on available information, an increased risk of adverse fetal events has not been observed (Hoeltzenbein 2013).
Breast-Feeding Considerations
Allopurinol and its metabolite are present in breast milk; the metabolite was also detected in the serum of the breastfed infant (Kamilli 1993). The manufacturer recommends caution be used when administering allopurinol to breastfeeding women.

Tegafur: Allopurinol may diminish the therapeutic effect of Tegafur. Risk X: Avoid combination
Theophylline Derivatives: Allopurinol may increase the serum concentration of Theophylline Derivatives. Exceptions: Dyphylline. Risk C: Monitor therapy
Thiazide and Thiazide-Like Diuretics: May enhance the potential for allergic or hypersensitivity reactions to Allopurinol. Thiazide and Thiazide-Like Diuretics may increase the serum concentration of Allopurinol. Specifically, Thiazide Diuretics may increase the concentration of Oxypurinol, an active metabolite of Allopurinol. Risk C: Monitor therapy
Vitamin K Antagonists (eg, warfarin): Allopurinol may enhance the anticoagulant effect of Vitamin K Antagonists. Management: Monitor for increased prothrombin times (PT)/therapeutic effects of oral anticoagulants if allopurinol is initiated/dose increased, or decreased effects if allopurinol is discontinued/dose decreased. Reductions in coumarin dosage will likely be needed. Risk D: Consider therapy modification
Gene Testing May Be Considered
Monitoring Parameters
CBC, serum uric acid levels every 2 to 5 weeks during dose titration until desired level is achieved and every 6 months thereafter (ACR [Khanna 2012a]), liver function tests (periodically in patients with preexisting hepatic disease), renal function (BUN, serum creatinine, or creatinine clearance [prior to initiation and periodically]), prothrombin time (periodically in patients receiving warfarin). Monitor hydration status, signs/symptoms of hepatotoxicity, and signs/symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions, including SCAR. Consider HLA-B*5801 testing prior to initiation of therapy in patients at elevated risk for SCAR.

Goal during therapy for gout: <6 mg/dL; <5 mg/dL in patients with severe gout (eg, tophi, frequent attacks, chronic arthropathy) (ACR [Khanna 2012a]; EULAR [Richette 2017]). Levels <3 mg/dL are not recommended long-term (EULAR [Richette 2017]).
Note: Serum uric acid values >7 mg/dL do not necessarily represent clinical gout; current clinical practice guidelines do not address pharmacologic management of asymptomatic hyperuricemia (ACR [Khanna 2012a]; EULAR [Richette 2017]).
Advanced Practitioners Physical Assessment/Monitoring
Obtain renal function; dosage adjustments may be needed. Monitor uric acid levels, CBC, liver function tests, and renal function tests; monitor PT in patients receiving warfarin. Monitor for therapeutic response; frequency and severity of gouty attacks. Observe for signs of hypersensitivity; consider HLA-B*5801 testing in high-risk patients. Assess for signs of CNS effects. Monitor hydration status.
Nursing Physical Assessment/Monitoring
Monitor frequency and severity of gouty attacks. Monitor for signs of hypersensitivity; educate patient to monitor and report any skin rashes. Educate patient on the importance of adequate hydration.

Mechanism of Action
Allopurinol inhibits xanthine oxidase, the enzyme responsible for the conversion of hypoxanthine to xanthine to uric acid. Allopurinol is metabolized to oxypurinol which is also an inhibitor of xanthine oxidase; allopurinol acts on purine catabolism, reducing the production of uric acid without disrupting the biosynthesis of vital purines.
Pharmacodynamics/Kinetics
Onset of action:
Gout: Decrease in serum and urine uric acid: 2 to 3 days; peak effect: 1 week or longer; normal serum urate levels achieved typically within 1 to 3 weeks
Cancer therapy-induced hyperuricemia: Median time to plasma uric acid control: 27 hours (Cortes 2010)
Absorption: Oral: 90% from GI tract
Distribution: Vss: IV: 0.84 to 0.87 L/kg
Metabolism: Rapidly oxidized to active metabolites, primarily oxypurinol
Bioavailability: ~49% to 53%
Half-life elimination: Parent drug: ~1 to 2 hours; Oxypurinol: ~15 hours
Time to peak, plasma: Oral: Allopurinol: 1.5 hours; Oxypurinol: 4.5 hours
Excretion: Urine (76% as oxypurinol, 12% as unchanged drug); feces (~20%)
