Zyrik 300 Tablet (Allopurinol) – Treatment & Prevention of Gout

Zyrik 300 Tablet is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor used to treat and prevent gout by reducing high uric acid levels in the body. Excess uric acid forms painful crystals around joints and kidneys, leading to inflammation. This medicine helps dissolve existing crystals and prevents new ones from forming. For best results, take Zyrik 300 Tablet with food and continue usage as prescribed, even between gout attacks. Stopping abruptly may worsen symptoms. Combine this treatment with dietary changes (reducing protein-rich foods) and increased fluid intake for optimal management of gout.
