- Study this Allopurinol NCLEX mnemonic and other mnemonics with Pixorize.
Allopurinol is a medication that lowers uric acid levels. Allopurinol is used as a chronic treatment of gout to prevent acute attacks, and patients should take the drug with plenty of water to most effectively reduce their risk of a gout attack. Allopurinol may also be prescribed to treat tumor lysis syndrome in patients who have recently received chemotherapy. Any rashes that develop while taking allopurinol should immediately be reported, because a serious adverse reaction is Stevens Johnson Syndrome, a type of severe drug rash.

Allopurinol shouldn't be taken for acute gout. It's used for chronic gout
Unbelievable I was prescribed for high uric acid and I guess she knew it would be chronic. But didn't tell me.
She did say it’s not for acute
Alloes are always pictures with water , allopurinol should be taken with water 💦
