<s>[INST] Hi, My husband has been prescribed allopurinol for gout and I have just discovered that he has been taking double the prescribed dosage, probably for a few months now. He is also taking Coversyl for blood pressure and Lengout for gout. Are there any health risks associated with him taking double the required dosage of allopurinol? [/INST] patient is taking colchicine(lengout). so it must be acute gout. in acute gout allopurinol should not be used.rather it can precipitate acute gout .double dose will increase the risk further. </s>
