Zyloric 300mg Tablets (30’s) – Allopurinol | Uric Acid & Gout Treatment Medicine

Description

Zyloric 300mg Tablets contain Allopurinol, a medication used to reduce high uric acid levels in the blood and urine. Excess uric acid can cause gout attacks, kidney stones, and uric acid buildup during cancer therapy.
Zyloric works by inhibiting xanthine oxidase, an enzyme responsible for uric acid formation, thereby helping to prevent painful gout attacks, reduce joint inflammation, and protect kidney function.

It is a trusted brand for long-term management of hyperuricemia and chronic gout.
