Medication
Zyloprim® (allopurinol)
A one-page care plan for patients taking Zyloprim® (allopurinol), covering Purpose, Prevention & Protection, Expectations & Execution, Nutrition & Next Steps, Consistency, Indications and Lifestyle & Long-Term Success.
In this plan
Purpose, Prevention & Protection
- I know allopurinol lowers the amount of uric acid my body makes.
- I know my uric-acid goal—usually below 6 mg/dL and sometimes lower when gout is severe
- I know it prevents future gout attacks but does not quickly treat the pain of an attack already happening.
- I ask if I need a gene test for serious rash risk, especially with African, Asian, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Island ancestry.
