Allopurinol other names?

What other names does allopurinol go by?

Allopurinol is the generic name. Other names you may see are mainly brand names and common listings by different manufacturers in various countries.

Common brand names for allopurinol

Common brand names include:
- Zyloprim
- Aloprim

Is allopurinol the same as “oxypurinol”?

No. Oxypurinol is a related metabolite of allopurinol (it forms in the body after dosing), but oxypurinol is not a separate alternative name for the drug itself.

Does the strength change the “other name” you see?

No. Different tablet strengths (for example, 100 mg or 300 mg) usually keep the same name; only the dose varies.

Sources

No specific sources were provided in the prompt for brand-name variants by country, so I can’t reliably list additional country-specific aliases beyond the widely used brand names above. If you tell me your country (or the label wording you saw), I can narrow it down to the exact “other names” that match your product.
