Medicine Overview of Ucorex 100mg Tablet
Introduction
Ucorex is a medicine used to treat and prevent gout. Gout happens when there is too much uric acid in your body and it forms into crystals which can appear around your joints and kidneys and cause pain. This medicine helps to keep uric acid levels low. Ucorex should be taken after food. You should keep taking it as recommended by your doctor even when you are not having a gout attack. If you stop, your symptoms may get worse because more crystals form in your joints and kidneys. You can help yourself by making some changes to your diet...

How Ucorex works
Ucorex is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor. It works by decreasing blood uric acid, which is the chemical that causes gout.
What if you forget to take Ucorex?
If you miss a dose of Ucorex, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
Quick Tips
- Your doctor has prescribed Ucorex to reduce episodes of gout attack.
- Take Ucorex with food to avoid stomach upset.
- Take plenty of fluids (2-3 litres) daily while on Ucorex.
- Notify your doctor if you develop a rash. This could be a sign of allergy and should go away on discontinuing Ucorex.
- When you first start taking this medicine, you might have more gout attacks. Do not stop Ucorex on having an acute attack of gout as that could make an attack worse.
- Your doctor may check your liver function before starting treatment and regularly thereafter. Inform your doctor if you notice yellowing of eyes or skin, dark urine, or stomach pain.
- Do not consume alcohol while taking this medicine as it may cause your gout to flare up.

Hepatic impairment: Dose reduction may be needed. Monitor liver function regularly.
Administration
May inhibit the metabolism of mercaptopurine and azathioprine; reduce dose of mercaptopurine and azathioprine when given w/ allopurinol.

Lactation: Agent is distributed into breast milk; use with caution.
Renal Dose
Allopurinol is an inhibitor of the enzyme xanthine oxidase which converts hypoxanthine to xanthine then uric acid. The reduced production of uric acid relieves all symptoms associated with hyperuricaemia and gout. Inhibition of xanthine oxidase leads to accumulation of its substrates hypoxanthine and xanthine but since their renal clearance is more than 10 times that of uric acid, there is no risk of nephrolithiasis.
Mode of Action
Administration Should be taken with food. Take immediately after meals.
