Allopurinol Tablets IP 100 mg Uses

Allopurinol is a medicine used to lower high uric acid levels in the blood. It is commonly prescribed for conditions like gout, kidney stones caused by uric acid, and to prevent tumor lysis syndrome in certain cancers. By reducing uric acid, it helps prevent painful gout attacks and kidney damage.

How Allopurinol works

Allopurinol works by inhibiting the enzyme xanthine oxidase, which is responsible for the production of uric acid in the body. By blocking this enzyme, allopurinol decreases the amount of uric acid formed, thereby lowering its concentration in the blood and urine.

Common side effects of Allopurinol

  • Skin rash (most common – may be serious)
  • Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea
  • Drowsiness or dizziness
  • Changes in liver function tests
  • Rare but serious: severe allergic reactions (Stevens-Johnson syndrome), bone marrow suppression

Expert advice for Allopurinol

  • Take allopurinol exactly as prescribed, usually once daily after a meal to reduce stomach upset.
  • Drink plenty of water (at least 2-3 liters per day) to help prevent kidney stones.
  • Do not stop taking allopurinol suddenly, as this may trigger a gout flare. Your doctor may gradually adjust the dose.
  • If you develop a rash, itching, or swelling, stop the medicine and consult your doctor immediately – this could be a sign of a serious allergic reaction.
  • Avoid alcohol and high-purine foods (like red meat, organ meats, shellfish) to help control uric acid levels.
  • Inform your doctor if you have kidney disease, liver disease, or are pregnant/breastfeeding.
