   Actually, it doesn't work like Allo, it works like Probenecid, only
   several times faster. It is a uricosuric which means that it purges
   UA (it doesn't inhibit its manufacture as does Allo). In view of its
   fast action it puts a heavy load on the kidneys which has to handle
   all of the UA elimination.
   There is a gentlemen on this list who is in the UK. He probably
   will respond to this post. He is allergic to Allo (big time) and is
   doing very well on Sulfinpyrozone.
   Do a search on Sulfinpyrazone in the "messages" and you will pull
   his posts up.

   Thanks for the info. When I "said it works like Allo" i added the parenthtical "( by what method ?) meaning that I didn't know if, like allo it prevents the formation of allo or like Probenicid helps eliminate ua from the system. I was just trying to make the point that it does not appear to be a pain killer. Is it available in the US?--I can't find it on my list of usual sources. Thanks again Bob.

   Hi all
   Jack mentioned a "gentleman" on-list who is on Sufinpyrazone. What a
   flatterer:-))
   Also spelt "Sulphinpyrazone", trade name "Anturan" in the UK.
   As said, I had a skin reaction to Allo so was changed to Sulphinpyrazone 200mg
   twice a
   day and am now attack-free for 6 years or more. I drink at least two litres of
   water a day
   in addition to tea/coffee etc. This drug punches the UA through the system via
   kidneys
   and they theory is that dehydration could lead to UA precipitation in the form
   of kidney
   stones:-((
   The literature recommends blood monitoring along with liver and kidney function
   monitoring.
   Other than that, I make no lifestyle modifications except loads of water when on
   the razz,
   avoid pigging out on seafood but eat in moderation and because of previous
   experience,
   am aware of the purine/pyramidine rich foods.
   HTH
