Staying on schedule with Allopurinol

Also known as

Zyloprim, Aloprim

Drug class

Xanthine oxidase inhibitor (urate-lowering)

Allopurinol is a once-daily, long-term medicine for gout. Many people take it after a meal as a matter of routine. Because it's a daily preventive habit rather than something taken only during a flare, a steady daily cue helps.

• Take it once a day, anchored to a meal so eating becomes the reminder.
• Set one daily phone reminder at your chosen time.
• Use a weekly pill organizer to confirm today's dose at a glance.
• Keep taking it consistently even when you feel well — it's a long-term routine.

Set the times Allopurinol is due, get a calm reminder, and tap once to log it. Mark it critical for escalating reminders, track your adherence over time, and export a report for your next appointment.
