Zyloprim
Drug Uses
Zyloprim reduces the production of uric acid in your
body. Zyloprim is used to treat gout, increased levels
of uric acid caused by cancer treatment, and kidney
stones that are caused by high levels of uric acid.
How Taken
Zyloprim comes as a tablet to take it orally. It usually
is taken once a day, preferably after a meal. Drink
at least eight glasses of water or other fluids each
day while taking Zyloprim unless directed to do otherwise
by your doctor. Avoid excessive amounts of vitamin C
supplements or fruit juice while taking Zyloprim. Too
much vitamin C may increase your chance of developing
kidney stones. Warnings/Precautions
Before taking Zyloprim, tell your doctor if you have
kidney or liver disease. You may need a lower dose of
Zyloprim or special monitoring during your therapy.
Zyloprim is in the FDA pregnancy category C. This means
that it is not known whether Zyloprim will harm an unborn
baby. Do not take Zyloprim without first talking to
your doctor if you are pregnant. Zyloprim passes into
breast milk. Do not take Zyloprim without first talking
to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. Missed Dose
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However,
if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the dose
you missed and take only your next regularly scheduled
dose. Do not take a double dose of this medication.

or face; or hives); blood in your urine or pain when
you urinate; a rash; eye irritation; fever, chills,
or joint aches; or severe nausea or vomiting. Other,
less serious side effects may be more likely to occur.
Continue to take Zyloprim and talk to your doctor if

arthritis. Side effects other than those listed here
may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any reaction
