Zyloric 100mg Tablets (50’s) – Allopurinol | Uric Acid & Gout Treatment Medicine

Description

Zyloric 100mg Tablets contain Allopurinol, a medication used to reduce high uric acid levels in the body.
Excess uric acid can cause conditions like gout, kidney stones, and uric acid buildup during cancer treatment.
Zyloric works by inhibiting xanthine oxidase, an enzyme that helps produce uric acid. By lowering uric acid levels, it helps prevent gout attacks, joint pain, swelling, and kidney complications.
