Each scored white to off white tablet contains 100 mg allopurinol and the inactive ingredients corn starch, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, povidone and purified water
Inhibition of TPMT by allopurinol would explain these results; however both in vitro and in vivo studies have shown a lack of inhibition of erythrocyte and human liver cytosolic TPMT activity following the addition of both
Cells produce uric acid normally
Allopurinol is converted to oxypurinol at the molybdenum center of XOR, and oxygen is received from the water molecule (top)
It works by reducing the amount of uric acid made by the body
Group 1: allopurinol starting dose 100 mg daily that increased by 100 mg each week to 300 mg daily
Allopurinol undergoes hepatic conversion to the active metabolite oxypurinol, whose half-life is normally 24 hours
Chemically allopurinol Allopurinol is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor
This article wishes to explain the use, the side effects, as well as the mechanisms of the allopurinol for gout
It reduces the production of uric acid by inhibiting the biochemical reactions immediately preceding its formation
Gout is a common condition that occurs due to elevated uric acid production via this mechanism
