Antihypertensive efficacy of allopurinol; a mini-review on current concepts
Allopurinol, primarily used to treat gout, has shown potential as an antihypertensive agent due to its effects on oxidative stress and endothelial function. This agent is not typically used as a first-line treatment for hypertension; however, some studies have suggested that it may have potential antihypertensive effects. More research is needed to establish its efficacy and mechanisms in treating hypertension.
