Hyloric Tablets (Allopurinol)
Hyloric tablets contain Allopurinol, used to specifically lower uric acid levels in patients with chronic gout, hyperuricemia, and uric acid kidney stones.
Introduction of Hyloric tablets (Allopurinol)
Hyloric tablets contain the active ingredient Allopurinol, a medication widely used to manage conditions caused by excessive uric acid in the body.

By reducing the production of uric acid, Allopurinol helps prevent the formation of uric acid crystals in joints and kidneys, thereby lowering the risk of painful gout attacks and kidney stones.
