Overview Zyloric Tablet

Allopurinol tablets manage and prevent gout attacks, which arise from excessive uric acid crystallizing in joints and kidneys, causing pain. This medication lowers uric acid levels. Take Allopurinol after meals; continuous use, as prescribed, is crucial, even during symptom-free periods, to prevent crystal buildup. Dietary modifications and adequate hydration are also beneficial. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, and elevated liver enzymes (SGOT, SGPT, and alkaline phosphatase). Your physician can advise on managing these. Seek immediate medical assistance for severe allergic reactions. Report persistent nausea, jaundice, or dark urine (potential liver damage) to your doctor immediately. Prior to commencing treatment, inform your doctor of any history of heart failure, cardiovascular disease, stroke, kidney or liver impairment, or thyroid disorders. This medication is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding; consult your doctor. Regular blood tests will monitor liver function.
