Zyloric

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage of Zyloric for you based on your medical condition and response to treatment. The usual starting dose is 100 to 200 milligrams per day, with adjustments made as needed. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully. Remember not to exceed the prescribed dosage to avoid unwanted side effects or reduced effectiveness. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.

Each Zyloric tablet contains 100 milligrams of allopurinol as the active ingredient. The tablet also includes excipients such as lactose, magnesium stearate, maize starch, and povidone.

Common side effects of Zyloric may include skin rash, diarrhea, and drowsiness. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include severe allergic reactions, liver problems, and changes in the blood cells. If you experience symptoms like difficulty breathing, chest pain, or swelling of the face, seek medical help right away.

Do not take Zyloric if you are allergic to allopurinol or any other ingredients in the medication. Inform your doctor about any medical conditions you have, especially if you have kidney or liver disease. Zyloric may interact with certain medications such as azathioprine or mercaptopurine, so it's important to disclose all the medications you are taking. If you have a history of heart disease, discuss with your doctor whether Zyloric is suitable for you.
