Its available at The Generics Pharmacy so it will be cheap, http://www.thegenericspharmacy.com/medicine-products/gout/alluprex/allopurinol-tab-300mg-alluprex

 

But they don't list the price as they used to and its a bit far for me to wander down there and look.  Doctor's visit will only be 500 pesos or less to get a prescription and I doubt they will ask for one.   Bring the one you have from home or just bring the old packaging and tell them you want a refill.  It will be a breeze so long as they have stock.

Non branded the generic version? 2.50 pesos per 300 mgm tablet.=about $6 per 100.  A very common medicine and widely available.

 

Doc visit?  They might see the locals for 300. For us around 500, that's the way it works here.

Patmac I used to also suffer gout, also tried allopurinol, more success with colchicine. Now just take Pantorthenic Acid (vitamin B5) and since started with one tablet a day never had any indication of gout again. (Touch wood) Yes I also enjoy a beer or two plus, often indulge in the wrong food but....no gout.
