Hello,
Testosterone can help improve your metabolism and thus reduce uric acid levels. Anyway, I would recommend taking febuxostat instead of allopurinol, to help reduce uric acid levels. You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
