Can I take Allergy and Allopurinol together?

Why this happens

Allopurinol can trigger a severe immune system overreaction in sensitive individuals. This is more common in people who have previously had severe drug allergies or carry specific genetic markers.

Before starting allopurinol, tell your doctor about all your allergies. If you develop any skin rash, mouth sores, or fever while taking this medicine, stop taking it immediately and seek urgent medical attention.
