How effective are Allopurinol tablets 50 mg from Japan for hyperuricemia (gout, uric acid level)?
Allopurinol is an isomer of hypoxanthine, a purine naturally occurring in the body. By interfering with purine metabolism, it suppresses the production of uric acid. As allopurinol does not belong to the uricosuric group, it can be used even for patients with renal dysfunction, though the monitoring of doctor in charge is required.
