Zyloprim (active ingredient: allopurinol) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Gout: Zyloprim is used in the management of gout and gouty arthritis to reduce the production of uric acid and lower blood uric acid levels, thereby preventing gout attacks and reducing the formation of uric acid crystals in joints.
  2. Hyperuricemia: It is indicated for the treatment of hyperuricemia (elevated uric acid levels) in patients receiving chemotherapy for certain types of cancer, which can lead to increased uric acid production.

Zyloprim belongs to a class of drugs known as xanthine oxidase inhibitors, which work by inhibiting the enzyme xanthine oxidase involved in the production of uric acid.

Zyloprim comes in tablet form and is usually taken once a day, as prescribed by a healthcare provider. To prevent an upset stomach, take Zyloprim after meals. You can drink plenty of fluids while taking the medication to stay hydrated. If the prescribed dose is more than 300 milligrams per day, patients may need to take several smaller doses throughout the day and should follow their doctor’s instructions.

Allopurinol, also known as Zyloprim, is typically taken once a day or in divided doses throughout the day, depending on your body’s uric acid levels. The maximum daily dose is 800 mg. The starting dose for each indication varies:

  • For gout, the typical starting dose is 100 mg per day.
  • For high uric acid in cancer, the starting dose is 600-800 mg per day for 2-3 days with plenty of fluids.
  • For recurrent kidney stones, the starting dose is 200-300 mg per day.
