Allopurinol (100mg)

Overview Alopinol 100mg Tablet

Allopurinol 100mg tablets manage and prevent gout, a condition arising from excessive uric acid buildup. This acid crystallizes, potentially accumulating in joints and kidneys, causing pain. Allopurinol lowers uric acid levels. Take this medication after meals, continuing as prescribed even during symptom-free periods; cessation may worsen gout due to increased crystal formation. Dietary adjustments and ample hydration are also beneficial. Possible side effects include nausea, diarrhea, elevated SGOT, SGPT, and alkaline phosphatase levels. Your physician can advise on mitigating these. Severe allergic reactions necessitate immediate medical attention. Report any signs of liver problems—persistent nausea, jaundice, or dark urine—to your doctor immediately. Before starting Allopurinol, inform your doctor of any existing or past heart failure, cardiovascular issues, stroke, kidney or liver disease, or thyroid disorders. This medication is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding; consult your physician. Regular blood tests will monitor liver function.

Alopurinol 100mg may initially increase the frequency of gout attacks (intense pain, swelling, and redness). These attacks typically lessen in severity and duration after several months. This increase may be due to the gradual dissolution of uric acid crystals, leading to blood uric acid level fluctuations. To mitigate these attacks, your doctor might prescribe colchicine alongside Alopurinol 100mg.
Gout improvement, including reduced pain, swelling, and redness, may take months to become noticeable. You might experience increased gout attacks initially while taking Alopurinol 100mg.

Never stop taking Alopurinol 100mg without consulting your doctor. Complete uric acid crystal clearance can take years.
