+1 what Blockhead advised! My doctor has me on 300 mg of allopurinol every other day. That maintenance dosage has prevented any gout flairups for many years. Wanting for 4 flairups is ridiculous IMO. Most of the my male family members (deceased father, brother and a son) have/had gout and all of us take/took allopurinol. Get well soon.
