Allopurinol Side Effects and Uses - Allopurinol Tablet 100mg, 300mg - Tab Zyloric, Uricto.
About allopurinol:
Allopurinol is a medicine used to lower levels of uric acid in your blood. If you produce too much uric acid or your kidneys do not filter enough out, it can build up and cause tiny, sharp crystals to form in and around your joints.

Allopurinol is used to treat gout and kidney stones.

It may also be prescribed if you're having some types of cancer treatment. Some treatments can cause a build-up of uric acid.

Allopurinol comes as 100mg and 300mg tablets and is only available on prescription.

Allopurinol is also known by the brand names Zyloric and Uricto.

Key facts
Allopurinol reduces the amount of uric acid made by your body's cells. This reduces symptoms such as swollen and painful joints (gout).
It may take several months before you feel the full benefit of allopurinol.
During the first few months of treatment, as allopurinol starts to work, you may get more gout attacks. However, your doctor will prescribe non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or colchicine to help with this.
When allopurinol is taken regularly, it can lower the number of gout attacks and help prevent damage to the joints.
Usually you will start allopurinol after an acute attack of gout has completely settled.
