Product Description
Zyloprim (Allopurinol) is a medication primarily used to manage gout and hyperuricemia (high uric acid levels). It is classified as a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, effectively reducing the production of uric acid in the body. Excessive uric acid can lead to the formation of urate crystals in joints and tissues, causing painful gout attacks and other health complications. Find relief and manage your condition effectively with Zyloprim.
Key Benefits of Zyloprim
- Gout Management: Prevents and reduces the frequency of gout attacks by lowering uric acid levels.
- Hyperuricemia Treatment: Effectively manages high uric acid levels caused by various conditions, including cancer chemotherapy.
- Kidney Stone Prevention: Helps prevent the formation of calcium oxalate kidney stones in patients with high uric acid levels.
- Reduces Uric Acid Production: Works by inhibiting xanthine oxidase, an enzyme involved in uric acid synthesis.
Common Use
Zyloprim is commonly prescribed for:
- Treatment and prevention of gout attacks.
- Management of hyperuricemia associated with cancer chemotherapy (tumor lysis syndrome).
- Prevention of calcium oxalate kidney stones in patients with elevated uric acid levels in urine.
Dosage and Direction
Always use Zyloprim as directed by your healthcare provider. Adhering to their instructions is crucial for achieving the best results and minimizing potential side effects.
- Administration: Take Zyloprim orally, preferably after meals, to minimize stomach upset.
- Hydration: It is recommended to drink plenty of fluids while taking Zyloprim to help flush out uric acid and prevent kidney stones. Consult your doctor for specific fluid intake recommendations.
- Consistency: Continue taking Zyloprim even if you feel well. Do not skip doses. Consistency is key to maintaining stable uric acid levels.
- Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.
- Consultation: If you have any questions about how to use Zyloprim, consult your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
Storage
Proper storage is essential to maintain the efficacy of Zyloprim:
- Store Zyloprim at room temperature, between 68°F and 77°F (20°C and 25°C).

- Do not store in the bathroom.
