ALLOPURIC 300 : Steris Healthcare PVT LTD

Managing gout and high uric acid levels doesn't have to be a painful experience. With the right medication, long-term control is possible. One of the most prescribed treatments is allopurinol 300 mg — a trusted solution for reducing uric acid in the body and preventing painful gout attacks.

ALLOPURIC 300, by Steris Healthcare, contains allopurinol 300 mg and is formulated to offer reliable, long-term relief from hyperuricemia and gout. In this post, we’ll explore what allopurinol 300 mg is, how it works, its benefits, side effects, and why you should choose Steris Healthcare for your treatment.

What is Allopurinol 300 mg?

Allopurinol 300 mg is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor that helps reduce the production of uric acid in the body. High levels of uric acid (a condition known as hyperuricemia) can lead to gout, kidney stones, and joint inflammation.

By lowering uric acid levels, allopurinol tablet helps prevent gout flare-ups and protects the kidneys from uric acid damage.

Allopurinol 300mg Uses

The main allopurinol 300mg uses include:

• Chronic gout management

• Prevention of uric acid kidney stones

• Treatment of tumor lysis syndrome (a complication of cancer therapy)

• Used in hyperuricemia caused by chemotherapy

The goal of allopurinol 300 mg is not to treat an active gout attack but to prevent future flare-ups and long-term joint damage by keeping uric acid levels under control.

Allopurinol Tablet – How It Works

The mechanism of action of allopurinol involves the inhibition of the enzyme xanthine oxidase, which is responsible for converting purines into uric acid. By blocking this enzyme:

• Less uric acid is produced

• Uric acid levels in the blood drop

• Risk of crystal formation in joints and kidneys decreases

Over time, regular use of allopurinol tablet helps to prevent the complications associated with high uric acid levels.

Allopurinol 300mg How to Take

Here’s how to properly take allopurinol 300 mg:

• Dosage: Usually once daily or as directed by your physician

• Take after meals to reduce stomach upset

• Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day to help flush uric acid

• Consistency is key — do not skip doses

Important: Allopurinol 300mg is not used to treat acute gout attacks. Starting treatment during a gout flare can worsen the pain initially — your doctor may recommend anti-inflammatory medication for the initial phase.

Allopurinol 300mg Side Effects

While allopurinol 300mg is generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience side effects such as:

• Skin rash (most common side effect)

• Nausea or vomiting

• Drowsiness or dizziness

• Changes in liver enzymes

• Rare but serious: Allergic reactions, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, or kidney issues

Always inform your doctor if you notice any unusual symptoms or allergic reactions while taking allopurinol tablet.

What to avoid when taking allopurinol?
