Allopurinol Tablets IP

Allopurinol Tablets IP 100 mg/300 mg

Allopurinol Tablets are a medication that helps decrease levels of uric acid in the body. It is used in the prevention and treatment of gout or certain forms of kidney stones. The medication is also utilised in treating excess levels of uric acid due to cancer chemotherapy, psoriasis, or treatment with diuretics.

Allopurinol Tablet is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor. The drug inhibits xanthine oxidase, an enzyme that facilitates the formation of uric acid. When there is too much uric acid in the blood or urine, it tends to build up and crystallise in the body. This could cause kidney stones or gout.

Jamkas Pharma is a GMP-approved manufacturer and distributor of Allopurinol Tablets. We regularly audit our manufacturing units to guarantee that our products are of good quality and safe for consumption.

How should I Take This Tablet?

• Allopurinol Tablet is taken orally as a tablet. It is taken once or twice daily, preferably after meals. To make you remember to take allopurinol, take it at the same time each day. 
• Take the instructions on your prescription label very seriously and ask your physician or pharmacist to clarify any section you are unsure of. 
• Take allopurinol precisely as instructed. 
• Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than your physician has ordered.
• Your physician will likely begin you on a small dose of allopurinol and will continue to raise your dosage, not more than once a week.
• You may see several months or more pass before you experience the full effect of allopurinol. 
• Allopurinol might raise the number of gout attacks during the initial few months that you are on it, yet it ultimately stops attacks. 
• Your doctor also might prescribe another medicine called colchicine to stop gout attacks during the first few months you are taking allopurinol. 
• Keep taking allopurinol unless your doctor tells you to stop. Don’t stop allopurinol without consulting your doctor.
