Zyrik 300 Tablet is a prescription medicine manufactured by Cipla Ltd. It contains Allopurinol (300mg), a xanthine oxidase inhibitor widely used in the management of gout and chronic hyperuricemia (high uric acid levels in the blood).
How it Works:
Allopurinol works by inhibiting the enzyme xanthine oxidase, which is responsible for uric acid production. When uric acid levels are too high, they can crystallize in the joints and kidneys, leading to gout attacks, joint inflammation, stiffness, and uric acid kidney stones. By reducing uric acid production, Zyrik 300 helps to control these symptoms and prevent future complications.
