Alopinidone is a drug used to treat gout and hyperuricemia. It reduces uric acid levels in the body, prevents the accumulation of uric acid crystals in joints and tissues, and reduces the risk of gout attacks. It is usually recommended to take it once daily and adjust the dosage as directed by your physician. You should drink enough water when taking it to help promote the excretion of uric acid.
Taking aropinidone may cause some side effects, including headache, nausea, vomiting, and skin reactions. Blood tests should be done regularly during use to monitor uric acid levels and the effectiveness of the drug. Also, alcoholic beverages should be avoided as this may increase uric acid levels.
While taking alopinidone, patients should follow their physician's advice, undergo regular examinations, and inform their healthcare provider of any discomfort or abnormal reactions.
Instructions:
- ALLOPURINOL should be used under the guidance of a physician and taken as directed.
- It is usually recommended to take it after meals to reduce the occurrence of stomach upset.
- In terms of diet, foods with high uric acid, such as offal, seafood, etc., should be avoided to ensure the efficacy of the medicine.
Dosage Guidelines:
- The starting dose for adults is generally 100 to 300 mg daily, taken in 2 to 3 divided doses.
- Physicians may adjust the dose based on individual circumstances, but should not exceed 800 mg per day.
- The dosage for children needs to be determined based on weight and age. The general starting dose is 10 to 20 mg daily, taken in 2 to 3 divided doses.
- In patients with renal insufficiency, the dose may need to be adjusted and the physician's instructions should be strictly followed.
