User Reviews for Uloric oral

I've started using this drug 6 months ago. Result: no flare up anymore (though I was using allopurinol before). My uric acid level has now been around 4... compared to 16 before I started. Amazing. Only reason for 4* instead of 5 in the "satisfaction category" : it is pricey since it is too new to have generic version for it yet.

I was taking allopurinol 300mg daily, and still having to take a SNAID each night because the big toe would throb and I was worried about flares. I would experience the occassional accute flare up while on allopurinol. Doc did not like me on the NSAID daily, and when FDA blessed Uloric, on it I went (40mg). Immediately i noticed that i did not need to take the NSAID anymore (it has been 3 mos now). Uric acide levels fell, and i no longer live in fear of flare ups. The only side efect that I have noticed is that during intercourse, and it sometimes takes a bit longer to uh, finish. Whether that is good or bad is a discussion for another board..Read More Read Less

It made for to sudden a drop in Uric acid levels. From 12.8 to 6.4 in under two months. This caused massive kidney problems, stones and infections. A week in the hospital.

I have been taking uloric for almost three months. It seems to be working.I have noticed a few side effects like flusing,some hair coming out.Will continue until I see the DR. I have tried all other drugs for gout and could not take.

This a wonderfull drug! I had tried taking Allpurinol and another older drug (Collchiceen (sp?)) but they both wrecked havoc with my GI system. In short, the cure was as bad as the illness. However, when Uloric came out and my doctor put me on it...I had no more problems. I can't tell that I'm taking the stuff, except that my joint pain has gone away.

Good-bye Allopuronol, no side effects as of now(6-09)- simple,effective--- dont wait for doctor to suggest,ask him about protocol- Thank you god !!!!! and Dr. Mehta

My joints havent felt this good in years. I love this new treatment

its deadly

My mother has been taking this drug for the treatment of gouty arthritis for 3 days when she began to have flu-like symptoms, i.e. hacking productive cough and slight temperature elevation (99.2 oral). also, she complained of itching on her back and stomach. She had 3 (2 on her back and 1 on her stomach) large, red, raised, itchy hive-like whelps. She decided to discontinue using the medication until she could inform the physician.
