Allopurinol medicine?

Allopurinol medicine?
Allopurinol (Zyloprim) is used to treat gout (joint inflammation in gout) and kidney stones (calcium stones, mainly). And it prevents high levels of uric acid in patients receiving chemo treatments. It si NOT a pain reliever, though.
Most people find it easiest to take after meals to decrease upset stomach, and with a full glass of water. If taken for stones, it is also best to drink at least 3-4 more glasses of water throughout the day to prevent more stone build-up.
Hope this info helps. Of course, always consult your Dr. for best medical advice. Not these yahoos!!!
Allopurinol is used to treat patients with multiple recurrent gout attacks, erosive destructive gouty joint disease, hard lumps of uric acid deposits in tissues (called tophi), gouty kidney disease, or uric acid stones. Allopurinol is also used to prevent elevation of blood uric acid in patients undergoing chemotherapy for the treatment of certain cancers.

I'm not sure what your question is? Can you be more specific?
It would help if you put more in your question explaining what you want to know.
I take allopurinol every day. My body produces too much uric acid, and the allopurinol helps the body eliminate the uric acid so it doesn't build up.
When uric acid builds up, it can form crystals in the joints. The bodies immune system reacts to those crystals as if they were outside organisms, and the immune response causes swelling and tenderness and lots of pain. The name for this mishap is gout. Allopurinol helps prevent gout attacks in people who have too much uric acid.
