My first attack was 1 year ago and since then have been on a bit of a rollercoaster. I began with Allopurinol 2months ago and after some initial flare ups things have settled down. The cheat sheet from the pharmacy said avoid coffee so I have cut it out entirely. Now that I have “stabilized” I am anxious to get back to my coffee habit. I asked the pharmacist and he reiterated that the coffee inhibits the efficacy of the medication. On this site I see that coffee may even be beneficial.

Any opinions on whether coffee interferes with Allopurinol?

Thanks
