Both drugs are used to treat high uric acid levels caused by chemotherapy.
See: http://www.drugs.com/cdi/zyloprim.html
Elitek is a urate-oxidase enzyme. When chemotherapy is given, cancer cells are destroyed, releasing large amounts of uric acid into the blood. Elitek works by allowing uric acid to be more easily removed from the body by the kidneys.
