    Glossary Allopurinol

    medication that reduces uric acid production to treat gout

    Allopurinol is a medication primarily used to treat gout and certain types of kidney stones by reducing the production of uric acid in the body. It works by inhibiting an enzyme called xanthine oxidase, which is involved in the synthesis of uric acid, thereby preventing the formation of painful urate crystals in joints and tissues.
