Comment:
If I take daily and stay away from all shell seafood I have not had any additional flare ups. I would at one time stop taking only to have the gout flare up again. Daily usage has stopped gout flare up

Comment:
Two years ago my doctor found gout crystals in my knee while doing surgery for what he thought was a flap of cartilage. I have been on 300mg of allopurinol once a day ever since and have not had any major flare ups ever since. Now, I recently had surgery again on the same knee for a different problem and there was no sign of the gout!
