ALLOPURIC 100 

Allopurinol (100mg)

Introduction

Allopurinol is a medication used primarily to treat gout and kidney stones by reducing uric acid levels in the blood. Marketed under the brand name ALLOPURIC 100, each tablet contains 100mg of Allopurinol. A gout is a form of arthritis characterized by severe pain, redness, and tenderness in joints, caused by elevated levels of uric acid that form crystals in the joints. Allopurinol helps prevent gout attacks by inhibiting the enzyme xanthine oxidase, which is responsible for converting purines into uric acid.

Uses

Allopurinol (100mg) is used for various medical conditions, including:

• Gout: It is used to prevent gout attacks by reducing the levels of uric acid in the blood.
• Kidney Stones: It helps in preventing the formation of kidney stones by lowering uric acid levels.
• Hyperuricemia: It is used to manage hyperuricemia, a condition characterized by excessive uric acid in the blood, which can occur due to chemotherapy or other medical treatments.
• Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome: It is used to treat this rare genetic disorder that causes the overproduction of uric acid.
• Other Conditions: Allopurinol is also used in the management of chronic tophaceous gout and recurrent calcium oxalate stones in patients with hyperuricosuria.

The dosage of Allopurinol (100mg) should be individualized based on the patient’s medical condition, response to treatment, and tolerance. Proper administration is crucial to ensure the effectiveness of the medication and to minimize potential side effects:

1. Administration: Take the tablet orally once daily, preferably after a meal to reduce gastrointestinal discomfort. It should be taken with plenty of water to stay hydrated.
2. Starting Dose: The typical starting dose is 100mg per day, which may be gradually increased based on the patient’s serum uric acid levels and response to treatment.
3. Maintenance Dose: The maintenance dose usually ranges from 200mg to 300mg per day for mild conditions and up to 800mg per day for severe conditions, divided into multiple doses if necessary.
4. Special Considerations: Patients with renal impairment may require dosage adjustments and careful monitoring.
