Allopurinol BP is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor used to reduce uric acid levels in the blood and urine. It is primarily used in the treatment of chronic gout and hyperuricemia associated with cancer therapy. By inhibiting the enzyme responsible for converting xanthine to uric acid, Allopurinol effectively prevents the formation of urate crystals and complications such as gouty arthritis and kidney stones. Its inclusion in British Pharmacopoeia (BP) standards ensures pharmaceutical-grade quality and consistency.
