Uncle Sam matches your contributions in pay periods where you are contributing to the TSP. If there were 26 pay dates, you would contribute $693 per pay period to reach $18,000 in the final pay period of the year. Of course, if there were 27 pay dates, you would have one pay period where you were not contributing to the TSP and you would, therefore, not receive the 4% contribution that represents the match; you would receive the agency automatic 1% contribution.
To reduce the possibility of flare-up of acute gouty attacks, it is recommended that the patient start with a low dose of ZYLOPRIM (allopurinol) (100 mg daily) and increase at weekly intervals by 100 mg until a serum uric acid level of 6 mg/dL or less is attained but without exceeding the maximal recommended dosage.he dosage of ZYLOPRIM (allopurinol) to accomplish full control of gout and to lower serum uric acid to normal or near-normal levels varies with the severity of the disease.
Allopurinol is used to treat gout and certain types of kidney stones. It is also used to prevent increased uric acid levels in patients receiving cancer chemotherapy. These patients can have increased uric acid levels due to release of uric acid from the dying cancer cells. Allopurinol works by reducing the amount of uric acid made by the body. Increased uric acid levels can cause gout and kidney problems.
