Allopurinol (300mg)

Overview Alopur 300mg Tablet

Gout, characterized by excessive uric acid crystallizing in joints and kidneys, causing pain, is effectively managed with Allopurinol 300mg tablets. This medication lowers uric acid levels, preventing and treating gout. Take Allopurinol 300mg after meals, consistently following your doctor's instructions, even during symptom-free periods; discontinuation may worsen symptoms due to increased crystal formation. Dietary adjustments and increased fluid intake are also beneficial. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and elevated liver enzymes (SGOT, SGPT, and alkaline phosphatase), often manageable with your doctor's guidance. Seek immediate medical help for severe allergic reactions. Report persistent nausea, jaundice (yellowing skin/eyes), or dark urine—potential liver disease indicators—to your physician immediately. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor about any history of heart failure, cardiovascular disease, stroke, kidney or liver impairment, or thyroid disorders. Allopurinol 300mg is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding; consult your doctor. Regular blood tests will monitor liver function.
