"I am taking allopurinol 300 mg/day to prevent uric acid kidney stones. I commenced taking them in Nov. 2017 after many years of regular stones forming, however, since this date, I have had no reoccurrence of stones. I have started having a salty type taste in my mouth, which I put down to the medication, however, this is a small price to pay for the relief from passing kidney stones."

"I have just started to use this drug, and I hope it works. I have had more than four lithotripsy operations so far: three external and one internal. I've got to do something, it's destroying my kidneys and my pocketbook. I'll try to keep my fellow sufferers up to date."

"I have been on 300 mg Allopurinol daily for 7-8 years to control kidney stones. My experience has been very satisfactory. The pill color was orange for all the years until my last refill. I get a 90-count refill, and the last two refills have been white with the imprint AX and without any numerals. I have not unsealed the last one of those two refills, as I have a few left in the first one. However, I have been having a pain in my left side that I finally have determined is a kidney stone symptom. In recent reflection, I believe this has started within the period when I began with the white AX pills. Would appreciate your comments. I do intend to consult my local pharmacist this coming week."
