Zyloric 100 mg Tablet

Zyloric 100 mg Tablet contains 100 mg of allopurinol in each tablet. It belongs to the xanthine oxidase inhibitor class, which lowers uric acid levels in the body. It is used to help prevent gout attacks and to treat high uric acid levels that can lead to kidney stones or other urate-related problems. Zyloric 100 mg Tablet is a prescription tablet from GSK, India.

How it works: Allopurinol works by blocking an enzyme called xanthine oxidase, which the body uses to make uric acid. As a tablet, Zyloric 100 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed, then helps gradually reduce uric acid levels in the blood and urine.

Zyloric 100 mg Tablet is the lower-strength tablet in this product, so it is often chosen when a doctor wants to start treatment cautiously or adjust the dose step by step. Because it is 100 mg per tablet, it is easier to fine-tune than a higher-strength tablet and may be preferred for people who need a smaller starting dose, including some patients with kidney problems. It does not work right away for pain from an active gout flare, but it can help lower uric acid over time when taken consistently.
