Allopurinol is a medication primarily used to lower uric acid levels in conditions like gout and certain types of kidney stones. Contraindications for allopurinol include a known hypersensitivity to the drug, severe liver or kidney impairment, and concurrent use of medications that may interact adversely with it. Patients with a history of allopurinol-induced hypersensitivity reactions should also avoid its use. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting or stopping any medication.
