Allopurinol

You should take Allopurinol exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The typical starting dose is 100 to 200 mg per day, which may be adjusted based on your uric acid levels. It's important to drink plenty of water while taking Allopurinol to stay hydrated. Your doctor will advise you on the duration of treatment and may recommend regular blood tests to monitor your progress. If you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects, contact your healthcare provider promptly.

Each Allopurinol tablet contains 100 mg of allopurinol as the active ingredient. The excipients may include lactose, maize starch, povidone, and magnesium stearate.

Common side effects of Allopurinol may include skin rash, nausea, and drowsiness. Serious side effects such as severe skin reactions, liver problems, or unusual bleeding/bruising should be reported to your doctor immediately. In rare cases, Allopurinol may cause a severe allergic reaction or blood disorders. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience difficulty breathing, swelling of the face/throat, or severe dizziness.

Do not take Allopurinol if you are allergic to allopurinol or any of the ingredients in the product. Inform your healthcare provider of any medical conditions you have, especially kidney or liver disease. Allopurinol may interact with certain medications like azathioprine or mercaptopurine, so inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking. Pregnant or breastfeeding women and children should not use Allopurinol without medical advice.
