My partner has been living with the condition of gout long term alongside with autoimmune, heart and many other diseases. Obesity has been a life time battle but after a serious attack of gout the hospital have given her new drugs to try. She has been on Quinine for 40 years but it is the side effect of a new drug Allopurinol that interests me. She has lost two stone in two months and there does not seem to be any other reason than this medicine. I just wondered if anyone else had this side effect of taking this drug. A real bonus for her as she has never experienced such weight loss in her life.
