Overview Algor 100mg Tablet

Gout, characterized by excessive uric acid crystallizing in joints and kidneys, causing pain, is effectively managed and prevented with UricAid 100mg tablets. UricAid lowers uric acid levels. Take this medication after meals, consistently as prescribed, even during symptom-free periods; discontinuation risks symptom exacerbation due to increased crystal formation. Dietary modifications and adequate hydration are beneficial adjuncts. Potential side effects include nausea, diarrhea, elevated SGOT, SGPT, and alkaline phosphatase levels. Your physician can advise on managing these. Seek immediate medical attention for severe allergic reactions. Report persistent nausea, jaundice, or dark urine (possible liver complications) to your doctor promptly. Before starting UricAid, inform your physician of any history of heart failure, cardiac issues, stroke, renal or hepatic disease, or thyroid disorders. It's contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding; consult your doctor. Regular blood tests will monitor liver function.

This increase may be due to the gradual dissolution of uric acid crystals, leading to fluctuating blood uric acid levels. Colchicine may be prescribed alongside Algor 100mg to mitigate these attacks.
Gout improvement, including reduced attack frequency and severity (pain, swelling, redness), may take several months.
