It can also be used to reduce the levels of uric acid in the blood, especially among patients who are receiving treatment for cancer. How Does Allopurinol Work? Every day the human body naturally produces uric acid during the breakdown of chemicals known as purines that are found in certain food and drink substances. The by-product then dissolves in the blood and exits the body through urine. However, there are instances when the body produces too much uric acid for the kidneys to handle. As a result, the uric acid forms crystals that accumulate in joints causing gout, a form of inflammatory arthritis that is extremely painful. Allopurinol belongs to a group of medications known as Xanthine Oxidase Inhibitors that work by blocking the Xanthine Oxidase enzyme that is responsible for the production of uric acid. lowering the levels of uric acid in the urine and bloodstream.
