Gestin Tab is a prescription-strength medication primarily used to reduce elevated uric acid levels in the body, a condition medically known as hyperuricemia. It is commonly prescribed for patients suffering from chronic gout, recurrent kidney stones, and uric acid buildup due to cancer treatments. As a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, Allopurinol works by blocking the enzyme responsible for converting purines into uric acid, thereby helping to maintain healthy uric acid levels.

High uric acid levels can lead to the formation of crystals in the joints, triggering painful gout attacks, swelling, and inflammation. In some cases, excessive uric acid can form kidney stones or cause kidney damage, especially in people undergoing chemotherapy or radiation. Gestin Tab is a higher-strength dosage designed for patients with more severe hyperuricemia, especially those who haven’t responded well to lower doses.
