Allopurinol is a medication used to lower high blood uric acid levels. It is commonly prescribed to prevent gout, reduce the formation of kidney stones, and manage hyperuricemia caused by chemotherapy. Allopurinol works by inhibiting xanthine oxidase, an enzyme responsible for the production of uric acid. It is available in oral and intravenous (IV) formulations and is typically used for long-term management rather than acute gout attacks.
