Hi
Thanks for asking.
Zyloric or allopurinol is used for the treatment of the gout in lot of cases, although it is a safe medicine but in some cases if it is taken for a long period of time in a very large dose it can cause renal dysfunction.
Check your blood urea and serum creatinine levels frequently to check for any damage to the kidneys.
Thanks.
