Allopurinol is indicated for the treatment of gout, high levels of uric acid in the blood, and recurrent kidney stones. It is also prescribed to prevent elevated uric acid levels in patients undergoing cancer chemotherapy. Allopurinol can address various conditions such as calcium kidney stones, hyperuricemia related to cancer treatment, acute gout attacks, recurrent calcium kidney stones, and uric acid kidney stones. The dosage of Allopurinol is adjusted based on the severity of the condition, typically ranging from 200 to 300 mg/day for mild gout and 400 to 600 mg/day for moderately severe tophaceous gout. While it is usually taken once daily, doses exceeding 300 milligrams may require multiple smaller doses throughout the day.

Caution
What's In It
Warning
Inform your doctor about any history of liver disease, kidney disease, diabetes, hypertension, or unique dietary habits like fasting before starting Allopurinol. Allopurinol has the potential to decrease blood cells essential for fighting infections, increasing the risk of bleeding or susceptibility to illnesses from others. In rare instances, Allopurinol may trigger a severe allergic reaction. It may also cause drowsiness, so be careful when engaging in activities that require alertness, such as driving. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
