MONITOR: Coadministration with alcohol or other central nervous system (CNS) depressants may enhance the sedative effects of allopurinol and increase the likelihood and/or severity of central nervous system (CNS) side effects, such as drowsiness, somnolence, vertigo, and ataxia.
MANAGEMENT: Caution for increased CNS adverse effects is advised if allopurinol is coadministered with alcohol, other CNS depressants, or agents that cause dizziness or vertigo.

ADJUST DOSING INTERVAL: The tolerability of allopurinol may be improved by giving it after a meal. Additionally, when the dose is greater than 300 mg, dividing the total daily dose into smaller doses administered more often may be appropriate to help minimize gastrointestinal irritation.
MONITOR: Concomitant use of allopurinol with central nervous system (CNS) depressants, including alcohol, may potentiate adverse effects such as somnolence and sedation.
MANAGEMENT: To improve tolerability, some manufacturers suggest administering allopurinol after a meal. Additionally, if the daily dose is greater than 300 mg, administering allopurinol in divided doses may help reduce gastrointestinal intolerance. Patients should also be counseled to avoid or limit consumption of alcohol and to avoid activities requiring mental alertness such as driving or operating hazardous machinery until they know how the medication affects them.
