Allopurinol peripheral neuropathy

There were some studies which were dealing with this problem but direct connection between allopurinol and peripheral neuropathy never was confirmed. Its been said that 1% of people how use allopurinol for a long time may experience peripheral neuropathy.

A patient experienced an axonomyelinic peripheral neuropathy during a long-term allopurinol treatment. The symptoms and signs regressed after drug withdrawal, and the nerve conduction velocities and distal latencies improved. The incidence of allopurinol-induced peripheral neuropathy is very low. Thus, facilitatory factors have to be sought.

Abstract. A patient experienced an axonomyelinic peripheral neuropathy during a long-term allopurinol treatment. The symptoms and signs regressed after drug withdrawal, and the nerve conduction velocities and distal latencies improved. The incidence of allopurinol-induced peripheral neuropathy is very low. Thus, facilitatory factors have to be sought.
