Allopurinol Tablets

Function and Efficacy

This product is a drug that inhibits the synthesis of uric acid. Allopurinol and its metabolite oxypurinol can inhibit xanthine oxidase, preventing hypoxanthine and xanthine from being metabolized into uric acid, thereby reducing the production of uric acid. It reduces the uric acid content in the blood and urine to a level below the solubility, prevents uric acid from forming crystals and depositing in joints and other tissues, and also helps to re-dissolve uric acid crystals in the tissues of gout patients. Allopurinol also inhibits the synthesis of new purines in the body by acting on hypoxanthine-guanine phosphate nucleic acid transferase. The blood uric acid concentration begins to decrease 24 hours after oral administration of this product, and the decrease is most obvious in 2 to 4 weeks. Acute toxicity test results: The oral LD50 of rats is 6000 mg/kg, and the intraperitoneal injection LD50 is 750m

Common oral dosage for adults: initial dose 50 mg once, 1 to 2 times a day, can be increased by 50 to 100 mg per week to 200 to 300 mg per day, divided into 2 to 3 doses. Measure blood and urine uric acid levels every 2 weeks. If they have reached normal levels, no more increments will be made. If they are still high, they can be increased again. However, the maximum daily dose should not exceed 600 mg. 2 Common dosage for children to treat secondary hyperuricemia: 50 mg each time for children under 6 years old, 1 to 3 times a day; 100 mg each time for children aged 6 to 10 years old, 1 to 3 times a day. The dosage can be adjusted as appropriate.
