ZYLORIC is a medication used to decrease high blood uric acid levels.
ZYLORIC 300 MG 28 TABLETS
Zyloric is used: to reduce or prevent the formation of urate/uric acid deposition in conditions where your body produces too much of a substance called uric acid. (Please consult your physician before taking any medication)
Why do I need this medicine?
Allopurinol is used to reduce the high level of uric acid in your body.

Build-up of uric acid in your body can cause gout, gouty arthritis, kidney or urinary tract stones. Allopurinol is used to prevent or treat these conditions.

Allopurinol is also used to treat high levels of uric acid that may occur in people with G6PD deficiency.

Allopurinol does not treat sudden gout attacks as it cannot relieve acute pain. Your doctor may give you extra medicines during the early part of Allopurinol therapy to help you cope with acute pain.

How do I take this medicine?
Take Allopurinol exactly as directed by your doctor. Do not take more or less than instructed by your doctor.

Allopurinol must be taken for some time to be effective. Continue taking Allopurinol even when you feel better. Do not stop taking it unless instructed by your doctor.

Take Allopurinol on a full stomach, with or immediately after food. Drink lots of water.

What should I do if I have forgotten to take this medicine?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and return to your normal dosing schedule.

DO NOT double a dose under any circumstances.

Remember to take your medicine regularly. Allopurinol must be taken exactly as directed for it to be effective. If you often forget to take your medicine, let your doctor and pharmacist know.

When should I not use this medicine?
Alert your doctor if you are starting Allopurinol therapy for the first time and you have a sudden gout attack.

Alert your doctor if you have ever had an allergic response (such as rashes) to Allopurinol.

Alert your doctor if you have kidney disease.

Alert your doctor if you are taking azathioprine or mercaptopurine.

Do not take Allopurinol to relieve an acute attack of gout. Allopurinol is meant for long-term control of gout. It cannot treat an acute attack.

What should I take note of while taking this medicine?
Alert your doctor if you have liver disease.

Alert your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Inform your doctor if you find that you get more frequent sudden gout attacks.

Inform your doctor if you have diabetes or hypertension and are on medications for these conditions.

Drink lots of water -- at least 8 glasses every day.

What side effects could I experience?

Allopurinol may also cause diarrhoea, stomach pain, nausea and bloating. Alert your doctor if you develop this.
