Drug & supplement interaction

Sodium + Lesinurad, Allopurinol

Lesinurad, Allopurinol brand name: Duzallo.

No Known Interaction
The bottom line No known interaction

We found no known interaction between Sodium and Lesinurad, Allopurinol in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first.

Sodium and Lesinurad, Allopurinol

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Lesinurad, Allopurinol and Sodium in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

How we checked

Why No Interaction Is Listed for Lesinurad, Allopurinol

Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Lesinurad, Allopurinol is filed under 7 classifications — including antigout drugs, cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) inducers, cytochrome p450 2c9 (cyp2c9) substrates. Sodium has documented interactions with 7 drug classes — the most serious being antihypertensive drugs (moderate), corticosteroids (moderate) and didanosine (videx) (moderate) — and none of Lesinurad, Allopurinol’s classifications are among them.

Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.

What Sodium Itself Has Been Linked To

This is not an interaction — nothing below involves Lesinurad, Allopurinol. It is the side-effect record for Sodium on its own, from the licensed Natural Medicines monograph. If something new turns up after you add Sodium, this list is the first place to look. 3 entries are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

Special populations

Sodium in Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy And Lactation Likely Safe

When used orally and appropriately. Sodium is safe in amounts that do not exceed the CDRR intake level of 2.3 grams daily.

Pregnancy And Lactation Possibly Unsafe

When used orally in higher doses. Higher intake can cause hypertension. Also, both the highest and the lowest pre-pregnancy sodium quintile intakes are associated with an increased risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, including gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia, and the delivery of small for gestational age (SGA) infants when compared to the middle intake quintile.

See Every Supplement That Interacts With Lesinurad, Allopurinol

This page covers Sodium only. If you take other supplements — a multivitamin, a sleep aid, something for joints — the Lesinurad, Allopurinol page lists 134 supplements it has a documented interaction with, worst first, each one explained.

The most serious there right now: Activated Charcoal (major), Asarabacca (major), Beer (major), Siberian Cocklebur (major) and Wine (major).

By severity: 5 major · 106 moderate · 23 minor.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Lesinurad, Allopurinol page

“Kidney-harming herbs are the sharpest hazard on this page. Siberian cocklebur and asarabacca (often contaminated with aristolochic acid) both carry major ratings, and that matters because lesinurad, half of the Duzallo combination for gout, comes with its own kidney injury warning.”

About Sodium

What is Sodium?

  • Replacing fluids and electrolytes
  • Preventing dehydration during exercise or illness
  • Treating low blood sodium (under medical care)
  • Seasoning and food preservation
  • Antacid (as sodium bicarbonate)

Sodium is an essential mineral and electrolyte your body needs to balance fluids, support nerves, and help muscles work. Most people in modern diets get more than enough—often too much—from food, so supplements are rarely needed except for specific medical reasons like dehydration or low blood sodium. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before deliberately adding sodium, especially if you have high blood pressure, heart, or kidney problems.

Mineral (dietary electrolyte) · Table salt (sodium chloride), oral rehydration solutions, sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride IV fluids, electrolyte sports drinks

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Sodium is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Sodium record says about it on its own.

Sodium: dosing

There is no single "supplement dose" of sodium for general health, and most people already consume more than they need. Do not invent your own salt regimen.

From our Sodium monograph — the full record covers uses, side effects and every documented interaction.
