Allopurinol Oral: Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Pictures, Warnings & Dosing

Uses

Allopurinol is used to treat gout and certain types of kidney stones. It is also used to prevent increased uric acid levels in patients receiving cancer chemotherapy. These patients can have increased uric acid levels due to release of uric acid from the dying cancer cells. Allopurinol works by reducing the amount of uric acid made by the body. Increased uric acid levels can cause gout and kidney problems.

How to use Allopurinol

Take this medication by mouth as directed by your doctor, usually once daily. Take this medication after a meal to reduce stomach upset. If your dose is more than 300 milligrams a day, you will need to take several smaller doses during the day to get this amount (ask your doctor for directions).

It is best to drink a full glass of water with each dose and at least 8 more glasses (8 ounces each) of fluid a day. If your doctor has directed you to drink less fluid for other medical reasons, consult your doctor for further instructions. Your doctor may also instruct you on how to decrease acid in your urine (such as avoiding large amounts of ascorbic acid/vitamin C).

Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time(s) each day.

For the treatment of gout, it may take up to several weeks for this medicine to have an effect. You may have more gout attacks for several months after starting this medicine while the body removes extra uric acid. Allopurinol is not a pain reliever. To relieve pain from gout, continue to take your prescribed medicines for gout attacks (such as colchicine, ibuprofen, indomethacin) as directed by your doctor.

Tell your doctor if your condition lasts or gets worse.

Side Effects

Stomach upset, nausea, diarrhea, or drowsiness may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

Remember that this medication has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.

Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: numbness/tingling of arms/legs, easy bleeding/bruising, unusual tiredness, signs of kidney problems (such as change in the amount of urine, painful/bloody urination), signs of liver disease (such as nausea/vomiting that doesn’t stop, loss of appetite, stomach/abdominal pain, yellowing eyes/skin, dark urine), unusual weight loss, eye pain, vision changes.

Allopurinol may rarely cause very serious (possibly fatal) skin reactions. Some people in certain ethnic groups (such as people of African, Asian, or Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander descent) are at greater risk. Your doctor may order a blood test to measure your risk before you start this medication. If the blood test shows you are at greater risk, your doctor should discuss the risks and benefits of allopurinol and other treatment choices with you. Get medical help right away if you develop any symptoms of a serious skin reaction, including: skin rash/blisters/peeling, itching, or swelling. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details.

A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: fever, swollen lymph nodes, rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.

This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

list of top 5 inexpensive and effective remedies for men, women according to KP

Gout is a systemic disease. The cause of the disease is a metabolic disorder, in which the concentration of uric acid in the blood increases, which leads to the deposition of uric acid crystals (urates) in the joints and soft tissues 1 .

At the same time, an increased content of uric acid in the blood does not always indicate gout. Hyperuricemia also accompanies a number of diseases, such as kidney disease, tumors, or blood diseases. This condition can be observed after excessive physical exertion or with the abuse of fatty foods. Only 10% of hyperuricemia states progress to gout.

The most characteristic sign of gout is the accumulation of urates in tissues and organs and the occurrence of acute attacks of pain in places of their accumulation.

What can cause gout? As with any disease, there are risk factors in the development of gout:

  • insulin resistance;
  • hypertension;
  • eating large amounts of red meat and offal;
  • abuse of alcohol, especially beer;
  • violation of the excretion of uric acid in diseases of the kidneys;
  • certain anticancer and tuberculosis treatments;
  • autoimmune diseases;
  • hereditary predisposition.

Gout usually affects the joints, which determines the clinical picture. As a rule, the pain is very strong, painful and chronic.

The main symptoms of gout are:

  • attacks of acute arthritis;
  • the formation of tophi – gouty nodes in places of the greatest accumulation of urates;
  • kidney damage.

The joints of the big toe are most commonly affected. Less commonly involved are larger joints: ankle, knee, elbow, wrist, hand joints.

Attack of pain often begins at night or in the morning. Redness and swelling of the joint appears, pain occurs, which intensifies as much as possible after 12-24 hours. Very often, the joint becomes hot to the touch and painfully reacts to the slightest touch.

Men over the age of 40 are most often affected by gout. They get sick 7 times more often than women 1 . The disease in women is mainly associated with changes in metabolism during menopause and is due to a decrease in estrogen levels. The fact is that estrogens directly affect the production of uric acid, reducing its concentration in the blood.

In addition, the diet of men and women is also different. In the diet of men there are a large number of provoking factors: red meat and offal, strong alcohol and beer. Excessive physical activity, stressful conditions also lead to an increased content of uric acid.

The course of gout in men and women also differs 1 . Features of gout in men:

  • the onset of the disease occurs at the age of 30-40 years;
  • the big toes and joints of the foot are more often affected.

Features of gout in women:

  • onset of the disease in old age and postmenopausal status;
  • the joints of the hands are more often affected;
  • more often tophi (gouty nodes) are formed.

KP list of top 5 inexpensive drugs for gout

Treatment of gout includes both drug and non-drug therapy 1 .

Non-drug therapies include: reducing the amount of meat and seafood in the diet, giving up alcohol, beer and smoking, weight loss in obesity, teaching the right way of life.

Medical treatment includes acute attacks of gout and antihyperuricemic therapy, which reduces the level of uric acid in the body, prevents the formation of urates and dissolves those that have already formed.

Important! All drugs have side effects and contraindications. Our material is an overview and does not serve as a guide to action.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are used to relieve acute arthritis due to gout 1.2 . Patients may be prescribed various NSAIDs, including meloxicam, celecoxib, diclofenac, nimesulide.

They help block enzymes involved in the inflammatory response. This reduces pain, reduces swelling of the joints and improves their mobility. However, NSAIDs have a number of contraindications and side effects that limit their use. The most common side effects are associated with a negative effect on the gastrointestinal tract and cardiovascular system. The most safe for the gastrointestinal tract are NSAIDs of selective or selective action (meloxicam, celecoxib, etoricoxib and others).

Among contraindications to the use of NSAIDs, erosive and ulcerative diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, active bleeding and a tendency to them, the “aspirin triad” – attacks of bronchial asthma, polypous rhinosinusitis and hypersensitivity reactions when taking aspirin and other NSAIDs often appear.

Helps relieve the symptoms of gout.

Does not act on the underlying cause of the disease.

Colchicine preparations

Treatment with colchicine usually begins after an attack of gout 1.2 . This is a herbal preparation based on the autumn colchicum seed extract, which has the ability to “slow down” the accumulation of leukocytes in the focus of inflammation and slow down the formation of uric acid crystals. After oral administration, the drug has an anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect, so it can be used to stop gout attacks.

Contraindications : renal and hepatic insufficiency, hypersensitivity, marked depression of cerebral hematopoiesis, pregnancy and lactation.

Herbal composition of the product, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect.

May not be suitable for everyone.

Glucocorticosteroid hormones

GCS are synthetic hormonal preparations with anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and immunosuppressive effects. They are indicated for use in a wide range of diseases, including acute and chronic inflammatory joint pathologies: psoriatic and gouty arthritis, humeroscapular periarthritis, osteoarthritis, bursitis. They can be in the form of tablets and injections: intramuscular, intravenous and intraarticular 1 .

Corticosteroid therapy is more commonly used in patients with monoarthritis who cannot be treated with colchicine and NSAIDs 1 .

Among contraindications to the use of corticosteroids may be hypersensitivity, lactation period, systemic mycosis and others.

Treat the symptoms of gout if the previous groups of remedies are not suitable.

The cause of the disease is not affected.

Monoclonal antibodies to interleukin-1

Representatives of this group are preparations based on canakinumab. They may be used to relieve attacks of acute arthritis in patients for whom other drugs are contraindicated or if they have not been effective 1 .

This agent reduces the severity of inflammatory reactions associated with excessive production of interleukin-1 (a protein involved in the inflammatory response). In an attack of gouty arthritis, the drug helps relieve pain, swelling and inflammation 3 .

Contraindications : acute infectious diseases, hypersensitivity, pregnancy, breastfeeding, children under 4 years of age.

Also helps in relieving the symptoms of the disease, if other remedies are contraindicated.

The level of uric acid is not affected, so they are only part of complex therapy.

Medicines to lower uric acid levels in the body

These medicines are indicated for those who have a persistent increase in blood uric acid levels in combination with chronic arthritis, tophi and gout attacks with a frequency of 2 times a year or more. The drug of choice is allopurinol, which helps to reduce the content of uric acid in the blood and urine and its accumulation in organs and tissues 1.4 .

Contraindications : hypersensitivity, acute attack of gout, pregnancy, lactation, severe disorders of the liver and kidneys 5 .

Febuxostat is another drug that can be used in patients with mild to moderate renal impairment 1 .

Contraindications : pregnancy and lactation, hypersensitivity, severe renal and hepatic insufficiency, age up to 18 years 6 .

Helps regulate uric acid levels in the body.

May be indicated for persistent elevations of uric acid, often contraindicated in acute attacks.

How to choose drugs for gout

The choice of a drug for gout depends directly on the stage of the disease and requires a mandatory consultation with a doctor. Some drugs are incompatible with diuretics, others are contraindicated in an acute attack of the disease. Self-administration of the drug can cause increased pain and worsening of the condition. Do not self-medicate, entrust the choice of the drug to the doctor.

Currently, gout is often combined with pathology of the kidneys and the cardiovascular system, obesity. It also requires an integrated approach to the treatment of the disease.

Painkillers for gout

When choosing drugs for gout, doctors always take into account their complex and comprehensive action. Such medicines must meet a number of requirements. They should, in the shortest possible time, alleviate the condition of patients and stop the pain syndrome, prevent the development of new attacks and prevent complications. The selection of drugs should be carried out exclusively by a doctor based on the results of differential diagnosis and the identification of etiological factors of the disease.

In the treatment of gout are used as part of complex therapy. So, in the case of a short therapeutic course, they are prescribed to eliminate pain and inflammation during attacks. Then non-steroidal drugs are usually prescribed. Sometimes intramuscular corticosteroids may be prescribed – such therapy is strictly individual and is developed only when indicated. As for long courses, they involve the appointment of larger-scale drugs, the action of which is aimed at reducing the amount of uric acid with its further excretion. They can also be prescribed prophylactically to prevent attacks of the disease.

Today medicines for gout are available in the form of injection ampoules, capsules and tablets, tinctures and various decoctions.

Pharmacodynamics of drugs in the treatment of gout

The key pharmacological action is to reduce the content of uric acid in the body with further elimination of inflammatory reactions. If the attacks are caused by infectious processes, antibiotics must be used for therapy. They not only stop inflammation, but also relieve pain and transfer the disease to a subacute stage.

Other drugs may complement the main treatment. Their action is aimed at solving the following clinical problems:

  • final elimination of pain syndrome;
  • removal of puffiness and redness;
  • temperature normalization;
  • elimination of toxins;
  • elimination of inflammatory plaques.

To ensure the maximum effectiveness of the agents in question, the maximum return of active substances to the tissue is important. Injectable forms have the greatest effect: when it enters the bloodstream, the drug is quickly distributed to the affected tissues and organs. In the case of external use (tinctures, compresses, ointments), the action of the funds is limited only to the place of application, therefore, in case of gout, it is recommended to rub all joints, and not just those in which pain is localized.

Medicines for gout have a number of contraindications. These are, first of all:

  • risks of allergic reactions to the drug components;
  • pregnancy and lactation;
  • glucose-galactose malabsorption.

As for side effects, they are manifested by fever, convulsions, alopecia, headaches, dyspepsia, insomnia and other disorders.
