Allopurinol can cause liver problems that are usually reversible after the medication is stopped. Let your healthcare provider know if you develop any signs of such problems, such as weight loss, appetite loss, itching, and increased liver enzymes. If you already have liver problems, your healthcare provider should periodically test your liver function (using a simple blood test) while you take allopurinol.
