Just starting my second week of treatment, already had a allergic reaction to allopurinol, not pleasant experience.
Hi Little G and welcome to the Online Community. I have a different type of cancer and haven't had the same treatment so I can't compare notes. I did type Allopurinol in to the search bar at the top of the page and the only post was from a member who's hubby developed a rash from head to toe.
Why not rephrase the question to " Anyone else had a reaction to Allopurinol?" and see if you get some answers. Otherwise look through older posts and see if you can find anything there. You could always contact the Macmillan helpline (freephone number shown below) and ask a nurse.
It’s always helpful to others if you write a little something (or a lot) about yourself and your journey to date. You can enter it into your profile (click on your username and select “Profile”) It’s helpful to other members with a similar diagnosis who can then hopefully answer your questions. It also means that you don't have to keep writing the same thing over and over. You can amend or update it at any time.
To find more information covering diagnosis and treatments there are pages covering most types of cancers which can be found on our Online Information and Support Section.
Macmillan Support Services also offer lots of information, support, financial guidance or just someone to listen. It’s free to call 0808 808 0000. Most services are available 8am to 8pm, 7 days a week. Have a look by Clicking here to see what is available and we also have our Ask an Expert section, but do allow two to three working days for replies from our expert team.
Sending you welcoming hugs B xx
