Zyrik 100 mg Tablet

Zyrik 100 mg Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains 100 mg of allopurinol in each tablet. It belongs to the xanthine oxidase inhibitor class and is used to lower uric acid levels in the body. Zyrik 100 mg Tablet is commonly prescribed to help prevent gout attacks and to treat certain types of kidney stones or uric acid buildup. It is not a pain reliever for an active gout flare, but it helps reduce future flares by controlling uric acid.

How it works: Allopurinol in Zyrik 100 mg Tablet blocks xanthine oxidase, an enzyme the body uses to make uric acid. By lowering uric acid production, this tablet helps prevent uric acid crystals from forming in the joints and kidneys.

Zyrik 100 mg Tablet is the lower-strength option compared with Zyrik 300 mg Tablet, which allows a doctor to start treatment more cautiously and adjust the dose based on uric acid levels and kidney function. This 100 mg strength is often better suited for people who need a lower starting dose, are more sensitive to side effects, or have kidney-related dose adjustments. A doctor may choose Zyrik 100 mg Tablet to help reduce the risk of side effects while building up treatment safely.
