Allopurinol is a medicine used to lower levels of uric acid in your blood. Too much uric acid can build up and produce miniature sharp crystals to form around your joints. This is extremely painful.

For more information on the prescription medication patients should refer to the Allopurinol patient information leaflet.

Allopurinol works by actively lowering the levels of uric acid in your blood. Allopurinol comes as 100mg and 300mg tablets and is only available on prescription. It is also known by the brand names Zyloric and Uricto.

Swallow the allopurinol tablets with water, ideally after food. You'll usually take it once a day, but if you're on a high dose, your doctor may advise you to split the dose and take it twice a day.

If your doctor has recommended you take allopurinol with lots of fluid, try to drink 2 to 3 litres of fluids every day.
