over 2 years total, little over 1 year at current dose.
Side effect: mild/practically no gout pain, reduced uric acidsignificantly (9.9 to 5.9), ability to worry about something else foronce.

Bad side effects: mild skin rash, headache, dizziness and reducedmental focus, after 1.5 years on it all were gone except theheadaches if I took it on an empty stomach or if I get stressed,splitting the dose would usually solve it.Good side effects: uric acid level: 3.5-5 no attacks.
