What is allopurinol (Zyloprim)? Allopurinol reduces the production of uric acid in your body. Uric acid buildup can lead to gout or kidney stones. Allopurinol is used to treat gout or kidney stones, and to decrease levels of uric acid in people who are receiving cancer treatment. Allopurinol may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
As is always the case, do not adjust your dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so. To help avoid a flare-up of gout attacks (which can occur when starting allopurinol), it is recommended to start at a low dosage for treating gout: allopurinol 100 mg once daily.oses of 300 mg or less can be taken as a single daily dose, but higher doses should be split up into a few (usually two or three) smaller doses per day.
