This is Allopurinol 100mgs, a generic for Aloprim. This is used to reduce the amount of uric acid that your body makes, certain people going through some medical procedures such as chemotherapy, product too much and it has to be lower so they don't hit a dangerous level.

Question is allopurinol also used to treat gout?

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

Allopurinol is used to treat chronic gout (gouty arthritis). This condition is caused by too much uric acid in the blood.
This medicine works by causing less uric acid to be produced by the body. Allopurinol will not relieve a gout attack that has already started. Also, it does not cure gout, but it will help prevent gout attacks. However, it works only after you have been taking it regularly for a few months. Allopurinol will help prevent gout attacks only as long as you continue to take it.
