Precautions

Tell your prescriber if you have any of the following: kidney disease; liver disease; an unusual or allergic reaction to zyloprim, other medications, foods, dyes, or preservatives, you are pregnant or are trying to get pregnant or you are breast feeding.

Visit your health care professional for regular checks on your progress. If you are taking zyloprim to treat gout, you might not experience less frequent attacks at first. Keep taking zyloprim regularly and the attacks should get better within 2 to 6 weeks. Drink plenty of water (10 to 12 full glasses a a day). This will help reduce stomach upset as well as reducing the risk of getting gout or kidney stones.

Tell your doctor immediately if you get a skin rash together with chills, fever, sore throat, or nausea and vomiting, if you have blood in your urine or you have difficulty passing urine, irritation of the eyes or swelling of the lips and mouth.

Alcohol may increase the chance of stomach problems and increase the amount of uric acid in your blood, therefore avoid alcohol.

Do not take vitamin C without asking your doctor. Excessive vitamin C may increase the chance of getting kidney stones.

You may get drowsy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do anything that needs mental alertness until you know how zyloprim affects you.
