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.
