POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Adults: The initial dose is 100-200mg once daily. The maintenance dose
is 200-600mg/daily. Maximum single dose
is 300 mg. It has rarely been found necessary to exceed 900mg/day.
Should the daily dosage exceed 300mg and
gastrointestinal intolerance be manifested, a divided doses regimen
may be appropriate. The dose should be
adjusted by monitoring serum uric acid and/or urinary uric acid levels
at appropriate intervals until the desired
effect is attained, which may take one to three weeks.
Children under 15 years: 10 to 20 mg/kg body weight/day up to a
maximum of 400mg daily. Use in children is
rarely indicated, except in malignant conditions (especially leukemia)
and certain enzyme disorders such as
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome.
Initiation of therapy: in the early stages of treatment with
Allopurinol, as with the uricosuric agents, an acute
attack of gouty arthritis may be precipitated. Therefore it is
advisable to give a prophylactic dose of a suitable anti-
inflammatory agent or colchicines (0.5mg three times a day) for at
least one month.
Use with uricocurics: As Allopurinol does not interfere with the
action of uricosuric agents, they may be given
concurrently.
When
changing
from
uricosuric
therapy
to
Allopurinol, 1-3
weeks
overlap of
treatments
is
recommended to ensure a continu
ous hypouricaemic effect.
