allopurinol - EASA class 1

Hello,

I hold EASA class 1 medical (without restrictions) and recently I did blood test and found out my Uric Acid is high (10) I do NOT have gout only high Uric acid. My Dr (not my AME) told me I need to start use Allopurinol to lower my Uric Acid.

The only thing I found on the EASA MED regulation is this

"Applicants with acute gout should be assessed as unfit. A fit assessment may be considered once asymptomatic, after cessation of treatment or the condition is stabilised on anti- hyperuricaemic therapy."

Does anyone know if usage of Allopurinol in order to lower Uric Acid is an acceptable treatment in EASA? Is this going to disqualified my medical class 1?


Thanks
