Zyloric 300 Tablet

Product Introduction

Zyloric 300 Tablet is a commonly prescribed medication used for managing and treating conditions related to excess uric acid in the body. The active ingredient in this medication is Allopurinol, a xanthine oxidase inhibitor that works by reducing the production of uric acid. Elevated uric acid levels can lead to various conditions, such as gout and kidney stones. By lowering uric acid levels, Zyloric 300 helps prevent these complications and provides relief from the pain and discomfort associated with them.

Zyloric is manufactured by leading pharmaceutical companies, ensuring that it meets strict quality standards for efficacy and safety. The 300 mg dosage is typically used for long-term management of hyperuricemia (high uric acid levels) and related disorders. It comes in the form of a tablet, making it convenient for patients to take daily as prescribed by their healthcare provider.

Uses of Zyloric 300 Tablet

Zyloric 300 Tablet is primarily used to treat and manage the following conditions:

1. Gout: Gout is a form of arthritis caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints. This leads to intense pain, swelling, and redness. Zyloric 300 helps reduce the production of uric acid, thus preventing its buildup and reducing the frequency and severity of gout attacks.
2. Hyperuricemia: Elevated levels of uric acid in the blood can lead to various complications, including gout, kidney stones, and damage to organs such as the kidneys. Zyloric helps lower these levels, thereby reducing the risk of these conditions.
3. Kidney Stones: Uric acid can form crystals that eventually develop into kidney stones. By reducing the production of uric acid, Zyloric 300 helps prevent the formation of these painful stones.
4. Tumor Lysis Syndrome: This condition occurs after the treatment of certain cancers where large numbers of cancer cells break down rapidly. This can lead to a spike in uric acid levels, causing kidney damage. Zyloric is used to manage and lower uric acid levels in patients undergoing chemotherapy.
5. Other Conditions Related to Uric Acid: Zyloric may also be used in other conditions where high uric acid levels are implicated, such as certain metabolic disorders or during the recovery of conditions that affect the body’s ability to excrete uric acid.

Benefits of Zyloric 300 Tablet

Zyloric 300 Tablet offers several key benefits for patients suffering from conditions related to high uric acid levels:

1. Prevention of Gout Attacks: By lowering uric acid levels, Zyloric reduces the frequency of gout flare-ups and alleviates the painful symptoms associated with the condition.
2. Kidney Health: Zyloric helps prevent the formation of uric acid crystals in the kidneys, reducing the risk of kidney stones and subsequent kidney damage.
3. Long-Term Uric Acid Control: Zyloric 300 is effective in maintaining long-term control over uric acid levels in the body, which can significantly improve quality of life for those with chronic conditions like hyperuricemia.
4. Supports Cancer Treatment: For patients undergoing cancer treatment, especially those with tumor lysis syndrome, Zyloric helps manage the spike in uric acid levels, preventing kidney damage and other complications.
5. Improved Joint Function: By preventing the accumulation of uric acid crystals in joints, Zyloric helps improve joint mobility and reduces inflammation, contributing to better overall joint health.
