Allofine-100 (Allopurinol Tablets IP 100 mg) belongs to the class of medications called xanthine oxidase inhibitors. It targets the metabolic pathway responsible for producing excess uric acid, which can deposit in joints as painful crystals or aggregate in the kidneys as stones.
It is clinically indicated for:
-
Gout Management: Prevents the recurrence of acute gouty arthritis attacks by lowering systemic uric acid levels.
-
Hyperuricemia Control: Manages elevated serum uric acid levels induced by heavy medications, lifestyle, or metabolic conditions.
-
Kidney Stone Prevention: Reduces the risk of calcium oxalate and uric acid renal calculi formation.
How it works: Allopurinol works by blocking the enzyme xanthine oxidase. This enzyme is responsible for converting hypoxanthine and xanthine into uric acid. By inhibiting this specific chemical reaction, Allofine-100 lowers uric acid synthesis, allowing existing crystal deposits to dissolve and be cleared from the joints over time.
