Hi,
Welcome at Healthcare Magic.
"Purinol" which has actually "allopurinol" as the content can cause Allergic kind of reactions but if you are on it for a long time, chances of having any such reaction decreases to much lesser extent. The dose of 100 mg per day is sfe unless you have any other serious and chronic problems at other organ systems of your body especially kidney and Liver. So if you have any kidney/Liver disease or you feel any unusal sign/symptom any time, you should consult your Doctor.
Besides that, going through the list of Medications you are taking, I think you need a visit to your Doctor because they need readjustment and some of them can be discontinued too.

Take Care and All the Best.
