Alopinidone is a drug used to treat gout and hyperuricemia.

Taking aropinidone may cause some side effects, including headache, nausea, vomiting, and skin reactions. Blood tests should be done regularly during use to monitor uric acid levels and the effectiveness of the drug. Also, alcoholic beverages should be avoided as this may increase uric acid levels.
