Zyloric 300 Tablet contains allopurinol (300 mg), which affects your body as follows:

• Xanthine Oxidase Inhibition: Allopurinol inhibits an enzyme called xanthine oxidase in your body. This enzyme plays a key role in the production of uric acid inside your body.

• Uric Acid Reduction: Allopurinol effectively reduces uric acid levels in blood and urine by inhibiting the activity of xanthine oxidase. This prevents the deposition of urate crystals that can cause inflammation and gout flares.

• Gout Attack Prevention: Allopurinol’s uric acid-lowering effect, when used long-term, can help reduce the frequency of acute gout attacks.

• Store Zyloric 300 Tablet at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Keep the medicine away from light and moisture to maintain its effectiveness.

• Always keep this medication out of the reach of children for safety reasons.

• Ensure you use the tablets prior to the expiry date mentioned on the packaging.

• To manage gout effectively, limit intake of purine-rich foods such as organ meats, seafood, and yeast. These can increase uric acid levels in your body, potentially triggering gout symptoms.

• Avoid or limit alcohol consumption as it can exacerbate gout and interfere with the effectiveness of Zyloric 300 Tablet.
