- Abstract
The thiopurine medications are standard inflammatory bowel disease treatments. Therapeutic failure is observed, however, often because of variable drug metabolism. Allopurinol can enhance the potency of thiopurine treatment. Our objective is to review the relevant literature, and our own experience, to determine if allopurinol enhancement of thiopurine treatment is a reasonable therapeutic strategy.
