I suffer from gout (18 years post kidney transplant) and have taken Allopurinol for at least 10+ years to control urticaria acid level (as well as watching intake of triggering foods). I also have Colchicine if I have a flare-up. Fortunately the Allopurinol evidently does its job and I haven't had any issue in a few years. My script were originally ordered through the Specialty Pharmacy and always refilled without any issue. Now suddenly they won't fill it and want me to have my local GP to deal with it. He doesn't know transplant patients (and I was told gout can be a side effect of my transplant meds) and I am really confused why my transplant team suddenly is washing their hands as far as refilling a med the originally prescribed and refilled for years. Boo.
