Does Allopurinol Interact With Prednisone?
Hi. My dad has just had an acute attack of gout. Was already on allopurinol, but this was stopped and placed on colcrys and prednisone. He had pneumonia also. He has finished the colcrys and continues on the prednisone. Is there a contraindication to taking allopurinol and prednisone together

Hi,
There were no interactions noted in the literature between allopurinol and prednisone.
However, this does not necessarily mean no interactions exist.
You need to always consult with your doctor or pharmacist regarding its intake to be on the safer side.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
