ALLOPURIC 300 

Allopurinol (300mg)

Introduction

Allopurinol is a widely used medication that helps in managing conditions related to high uric acid levels, such as gout and kidney stones. Marketed under the brand name ALLOPURIC 300, each tablet contains 300mg of Allopurinol. This medication works by inhibiting xanthine oxidase, an enzyme responsible for converting purines into uric acid, thus reducing the production of uric acid in the body. By lowering uric acid levels, Allopurinol helps prevent gout attacks and the formation of uric acid crystals in the kidneys.

Uses

Allopurinol (300mg) is used for various medical conditions, including:

• Gout: It is used to prevent gout attacks by reducing uric acid levels in the blood.
• Kidney Stones: It helps prevent the formation of uric acid kidney stones.
• Hyperuricemia: It is used to manage hyperuricemia, particularly in patients undergoing cancer treatment or those with certain metabolic disorders.
• Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome: This medication is used to treat this genetic disorder that results in excessive uric acid production.
• Chronic Tophaceous Gout: Allopurinol helps reduce the formation of tophi and chronic gouty arthritis.
• Recurrent Calcium Oxalate Stones: It is used in patients with recurrent calcium oxalate stones with hyperuricosuria.

Dosage

The dosage of Allopurinol (300mg) 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 for Allopurinol is 100mg per day, which can be gradually increased based on the patient's serum uric acid levels and response to treatment.
3. Maintenance Dose: The usual maintenance dose for managing gout and hyperuricemia ranges from 200mg to 600mg per day, divided into one or multiple doses. In severe cases, the dosage can go up to 800mg per day.
4. Dosage missing: Take the missing dose as soon as you remember it. If the next dose is almost due, skip the missed one and get back to your routine. Never take two doses to make up for one that you missed.
5. Special Considerations: Patients with renal impairment may require dosage adjustments and careful monitoring.

Side Effects

Like all medications, Allopurinol may cause side effects. While many people do not experience significant side effects, it is important to be aware of them:

• Common Side Effects: These may include rash, gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, and dizziness. Some individuals might experience drowsiness.
• Serious Side Effects: Rarely, serious side effects such as severe skin reactions (Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis), liver dysfunction, kidney impairment, and bone marrow suppression may occur. Patients should be monitored for signs of these serious conditions.
• Allergic Reactions: Although rare, allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, and difficulty breathing may occur. 
• Precautions: Allopurinol should be used with caution in individuals with a history of liver or kidney disease, and those who are taking other medications that can interact with Allopurinol.
