Product Description
Product Name: Zyloric Tablets 100mg
Product Form: Tablets
Pack Size: 50's
Manufactured By: GSK
Used For:
Allopurinol is used to manage conditions associated with high uric acid levels, such as gout, kidney stones, and hyperuricemia caused by cancer treatments. It works by inhibiting xanthine oxidase, an enzyme involved in uric acid production, thereby reducing uric acid levels in the blood and preventing complications.
Side Effects:
Common side effects include rash, nausea, diarrhea, and drowsiness. Serious side effects, though rare, can include severe skin reactions (e.g., Stevens-Johnson syndrome), liver enzyme abnormalities, and kidney issues. Acute gout attacks may occur when initiating treatment due to uric acid fluctuations.
Precautions:
Allopurinol should be used cautiously in individuals with liver or kidney disease. Adequate hydration is important to prevent kidney stones. It may interact with medications like azathioprine, mercaptopurine, and warfarin. Regular monitoring of uric acid levels and kidney/liver function is recommended. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before use. To minimize initial gout flare-ups, anti-inflammatory medications may be co-prescribed during the early phase of treatment.
