Overview Alurid 100mg Tablet

Gout, characterized by excess uric acid crystallizing in joints and kidneys, causing pain, is effectively treated and prevented with the medication, Allopurinol 100mg tablets. This medication lowers uric acid levels. Administer Allopurinol 100mg after meals, consistently following your physician's instructions, even during symptom-free periods. Discontinuing treatment can exacerbate symptoms due to increased crystal formation. Dietary adjustments and increased fluid intake are also beneficial. Potential side effects include nausea, diarrhea, elevated SGOT, SGPT, and alkaline phosphatase levels. Your doctor can assist in managing these. Seek immediate medical attention for severe allergic reactions. Report persistent nausea, jaundice (yellowing skin or eyes), or dark urine, indicative of possible liver complications. Before starting Allopurinol 100mg, inform your doctor of any existing or past history of heart failure, cardiac 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.

FAQs on Alurid 100mg Tablet

Take Alurid 100mg once daily, preferably at the same time each day for better adherence. It's best taken after meals. For doses over 300mg or if stomach upset occurs, follow your doctor's instructions on dividing the dose.
Starting Alurid 100mg Tablets may initially increase the frequency of gout attacks (severe 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, causing temporary blood uric acid level fluctuations. Colchicine may be prescribed alongside Alurid 100mg Tablets to help mitigate these attacks.
Significant improvement from gout symptoms, such as severe pain, swelling, and redness, may not be noticeable for several months. You might experience initial gout attacks after starting Alurid 100mg Tablet; however, continue taking it even without immediate relief. Discontinue use only after consulting your doctor, who may prescribe additional medication to manage initial attacks. Complete uric acid crystal clearance can take years.
Avoid alcohol while taking Alurid 100mg Tablets, as it may worsen your condition. A low-protein diet can help prevent gout attacks; consult your doctor for a specific food list. Drink at least eight glasses of fluids daily while taking Alurid 100mg Tablets, unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
Alurid 100mg Tablets may cause drowsiness, dizziness, and coordination problems in some users. Avoid driving or operating machinery if affected; if unavoidable, proceed with extreme caution.
