Starting at:
Allopurinol is a prescription medication used to treat chronic gout, certain types of kidney stones, and elevated uric acid levels in patients undergoing cancer therapy. It works by inhibiting xanthine oxidase, an enzyme involved in the production of uric acid. By lowering uric acid levels in the bloodstream, Allopurinol helps prevent gout flare-ups and joint damage over time.
It is also used as an adjunct therapy in cancer treatment, particularly during chemotherapy, which can cause rapid cell breakdown and a dangerous spike in uric acid levels (tumor lysis syndrome).
How to Use:
Allopurinol is most commonly prescribed to take once daily, usually after meals to minimize stomach upset, unless otherwise directed by your provider.
Patients should drink plenty of fluids throughout the day to support kidney function and help prevent kidney stone formation.
The dosage is individualized and may be adjusted by a healthcare provider based on uric acid levels and clinical response.
Note:
Allopurinol is not effective for treating active gout attacks. It is meant for ongoing prevention, and starting it during an acute flare may worsen symptoms.
Important Usage Notes:
Alcohol can interfere with its effectiveness and increase the risk of gout attacks
Maintaining hydration is especially important while taking this medication
Allopurinol side effects may include: Diarrhea, rash, fever, headache, gout attack, swelling of face or throat, dizziness, hepatotoxicity, confusion, indigestion.

Testimonials
Thank you Telrx for creating this company. It's so hard to get doctor's appointments! For common ailments, we usually know what we need before we go to the doctor's office...this saves so much time, money and headache! Thank You!!
Great service. No more waiting for an appointment for the medication I've been taking for quite a while, with much success. Received doctor approval and the medication was shipped to me without any delays.
I was hesitant, but everything about the experience was very positive. From requesting the medication to receiving it was quick and easy. From time of order to receipt was only 2 days. Very happy and will not hesitate to use in the future.
Where was this place all my life? No costly doctor's appts where you have to get a referral through Kaiser then drive then wait. Got an eczema cream for my daughter in 5 mins. Will be back
