Allopurinol Tabs 100mg 30 Pack

Allopurinol Tablets are xanthine oxidase inhibitors indicated for: Gout management – Prevents recurrent gout attacks, tophi formation, and joint damage. Hyperuricemia in cancer therapy – Used in patients receiving chemotherapy for leukemia, lymphoma, or solid tumors to prevent uric acid buildup. Kidney stone prevention – Reduces recurrence of calcium oxalate stones in patients with high uric acid excretion. How it works: Allopurinol reduces uric acid production by blocking the enzyme xanthine oxidase. Lower uric acid levels help prevent crystal formation in joints (gout) and kidneys (stones). Dosage: Adults (gout): Start with 100 mg daily, increase gradually to maintain serum uric acid ≤6 mg/dL. Maximum 800 mg/day. Cancer therapy hyperuricemia: 300–800 mg daily. Kidney stones: 200–300 mg daily. Children (cancer therapy): 10 mg/kg/day, divided doses. Side Effects: Common: Rash, nausea, diarrhea. Serious: Severe skin reactions (Stevens-Johnson syndrome), liver toxicity, hypersensitivity reactions. Precautions: Not for asymptomatic hyperuricemia. Requires regular monitoring of kidney and liver function. Adequate hydration is essential to prevent stone formation.
