Description:

Zyloric (Allopurinol) 100 mg tablets are used to reduce the levels of uric acid in the body. Elevated uric acid can lead to conditions such as gout or kidney stones. Allopurinol works by inhibiting the enzyme xanthine oxidase, which is involved in the production of uric acid, thereby lowering its levels in the blood.

Indications:

• Gout: Prevention and treatment of gout attacks.
• Hyperuricemia: Management of elevated uric acid levels associated with certain medical treatments (like chemotherapy).
• Kidney Stones: Prevention of uric acid kidney stones.

Dosage:

• Adults: The usual starting dose is 100 mg once daily. The dose may be adjusted based on the patient's response and uric acid levels. Always follow your doctor's instructions.
• Children: The dosage depends on the child’s condition and weight and should be determined by a healthcare professional.
