Consumer:

Consumer information for this minor interaction is not currently available. Some minor drug interactions may not be clinically relevant in all patients. Minor drug interactions do not usually cause harm or require a change in therapy. However, your healthcare provider can determine if adjustments to your medications are needed.

Pyrazinamide may render allopurinol less effective. Allopurinol inhibits the renal excretion of pyrazinamide metabolites, which, in turn, inhibit uric acid excretion. During concomitant therapy, it is recommended that the patient be closely monitored for reduced allopurinol efficacy.
