CompositionAlopur 100 MG Tablet 10 is a medicine used to lower high uric acid levels in the body. It is commonly prescribed for gout, a painful joint condition caused by uric acid build-up, and to prevent uric acid kidney stones. It is also used to control raised uric acid levels in people undergoing certain cancer treatments.
Alopur 100 MG Tablet 10 contains allopurinol. It is generally taken long term, even when you have no gout symptoms, to keep uric acid levels under control and prevent further attacks. Drink plenty of water while taking this medicine to help flush uric acid from the body.
Certain lifestyle and dietary changes can also help reduce uric acid levels. These include limiting foods high in purines (such as red meat, organ meats, and shellfish), reducing alcohol intake (especially beer), maintaining a healthy weight, and staying well hydrated.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have any kidney or liver problems, a history of allergic reactions, or are taking other medicines. Inform your doctor if you develop a skin rash, as serious skin reactions can occasionally occur. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use.
