Product Overview
Allopurinol is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor used to reduce uric acid production. It is the first-line treatment for chronic gout and hyperuricemia, effectively preventing gout attacks and renal complications.
Allopurinol and its active metabolite oxypurinol inhibit xanthine oxidase, the enzyme responsible for converting hypoxanthine to xanthine and xanthine to uric acid. This reduces serum and urinary uric acid levels.
