Allopurinol (Veterinary Grade)

Product Overview

Allopurinol is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor for veterinary use that effectively reduces uric acid production. It is used primarily in poultry and exotic animal medicine, and serves as a specialized feed additive to improve nitrogen utilization in ruminants.

Allopurinol and its active metabolite oxypurinol inhibit xanthine oxidase, the enzyme responsible for converting hypoxanthine to xanthine and xanthine to uric acid. This mechanism is particularly valuable in avian species where uric acid is the primary nitrogenous waste product. In ruminants, allopurinol can optimize nitrogen metabolism for improved protein utilization.
