allopurinol
for Gout

Allopurinol is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor that reduces uric acid production in the body. It is used to prevent gout attacks by lowering uric acid levels, though it does not treat acute flare-ups. Additionally, allopurinol is prescribed to manage high uric acid levels in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy and to prevent recurring kidney stones in individuals with elevated urinary uric acid.
