Product info
Zyloric is a gout-prevention tablet that you take every day to stop symptoms from flaring up.
- It limits your body’s production of uric acid, which builds up and crystallises in joints to cause gout.
- It won’t ease pain right away, as it takes a few months to reduce uric acid levels, but it can prevent it long-term.

What is Zyloric?
Zyloric is a tablet made to treat gout, with the active ingredient allopurinol. You take it everyday to prevent future gout attacks. It won’t treat the pain that comes with a gout attack- you’ll need to take a pain medication like a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug for that.
Zyloric tablets have been a first-line treatment for gout since 1966 because of the effectiveness of allopurinol. [1] So we know it works and that it’s a good choice to use long-term.
How does Zyloric work?
The allopurinol in Zyloric is a type of medication known as a xanthine-oxidase inhibitor. Xanthine-oxidase inhibitors work by reducing the action of an enzyme (xanthine-oxidase) that makes uric acid. [2] Since gout is caused by a buildup of uric acid in the blood, allopurinol helps to control your gout.
Zyloric won’t reduce your pain while you’re having an attack. In fact, starting Zyloric in the middle of an attack of gout could make things worse. So you should take painkillers if you have a flare up at the moment.. But Zyloric can stop the painful uric acid crystals from forming to reduce the risk of future attacks.
What doses of Zyloric are there?
Doses of Zyloric usually range from 100mg to 900mg once per day. It comes as 100mg and 300mg tablets. You will usually start on a lower dosage, but this might be raised to a higher dose of Zyloric if you have more severe symptoms. Don’t take a higher dose of Zyloric than prescribed by our clinician.

How to take Zyloric
Always take Zyloric tablets as our clinician tells you.
- Try to take Zyloric shortly after a meal.
- Swallow the tablet with water and try to drink enough water throughout the day.
- You can take Zyloric tablets at any time of the day.
- Take Zyloric around the same time everyday. You could try setting an alarm or using an app to help you remember.
How long does it take Zyloric to work?
Zyloric is absorbed quickly and is active in the blood within an hour. [1] It will take a while for Zyloric to show its full effects though (up to a couple of months). It’s a long term treatment, so you shouldn’t stop taking Zyloric without talking to your clinician.
What should I do if I make a mistake when taking Zyloric?
If you miss a dose of Zyloric, take it as soon as you remember. If it’s almost time for your next tablet, just skip it. Don’t take a double dose of Zyloric to make up for missing one. Taking it at the same time each day can help you remember to take it. If you take too much Zyloric, seek medical attention immediately. Take the packaging of your tablets with you so that you can show the clinicians what you’ve taken. Always ask our clinician if you have any questions. If you’re using our service, you can just log into your account and send a message to one of our clinicians.
