Share:
Allopurinol 100 mg works by reducing the production of uric acid through inhibition of the xanthine oxidase enzyme. It is prescribed for the prevention of recurrent gout attacks, management of hyperuricemia in patients with certain cancers receiving chemotherapy, and prevention of uric acid kidney stones. This medication is intended for long-term management rather than treatment of acute gout flares. Dosage is typically individualized, and patients are advised to maintain adequate hydration while taking it. Common side effects include rash, gastrointestinal upset, and liver function changes.
