Allopurinol is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor widely used for the prevention and treatment of gout, hyperuricemia, and uric acid nephrolithiasis. It works by inhibiting the enzyme xanthine oxidase, reducing the production of uric acid in the body, thereby preventing urate crystal deposition in joints and tissues.
Bluepill Express manufactures high-purity Allopurinol API under WHO-GMP, ISO 9001:2015, and cGMP-certified facilities, ensuring consistent quality, stability, and compliance with global pharmacopoeial standards (IP, BP, USP, EP). This API is suitable for tablet and capsule formulations, catering to both domestic and international pharmaceutical markets.
Therapeutic Uses
- Gout Management: Prevents recurrent gout attacks
- Hyperuricemia Treatment: Lowers serum uric acid levels in metabolic disorders
- Kidney Stone Prevention: Reduces urate stone formation in the urinary tract
- Chemotherapy Support: Prevents tumor lysis syndrome-induced hyperuricemia
- Combination Therapy: Can be used with uricosuric agents for enhanced uric acid control
Mechanism of Action
Allopurinol inhibits xanthine oxidase, the enzyme responsible for converting hypoxanthine and xanthine into uric acid:
- Reduces uric acid production
- Prevents urate crystal deposition in joints and tissues
- Minimizes flare-ups and complications associated with gout
- Supports renal health by decreasing uric acid load
