CompositionUrid 200 MG Tablet is a medicine used to lower elevated uric acid levels in the body, helping to treat and prevent gouty arthritis and uric acid kidney stones. It is also prescribed to manage high blood uric acid levels in patients undergoing certain cancer therapies.
It contains allopurinol (200 mg), a xanthine oxidase inhibitor that reduces uric acid synthesis. Take it long term as prescribed, even during symptom-free periods, to prevent gout flare-ups. Drink plenty of fluid (2-3 litres daily) to promote uric acid excretion.
Dietary changes such as reducing consumption of purine-rich foods (red meat, seafood), avoiding alcohol (especially beer), and staying well-hydrated play a vital supportive role in managing uric acid.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease, heart problems, or a history of medicine allergies. Stop the medicine and seek immediate medical care if you develop a skin rash, as severe cutaneous reactions can occasionally occur.
