THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS For the reduction of urate levels in the body whether of idiopathic nature or in association with other conditions (neoplastic conditions Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, renal failure, renal calculus formation, diuretic therapy, psoriasis). 4.2. 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.

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. Use read_full_document
