Usage

Colcrys (Colchicine) is used to treat and prevent frequent gout attacks. It may also be used to treat familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). Colchicine reduces the swelling, inflammation, and pain that occurs when uric acid crystals form in the joints. In acute gout, there is severe inflammation in response to uric acid crystals forming in the bony joints (source). This medication suppresses the inflammation caused by gout. Although this medication's exact mechanism is unknown, it is theorized that it reduces the crystallization of uric acid. Changing your diet and healthy lifestyle choices can prevent gout and reduce the risk of gout attacks (source). It is crucial to take the medication exactly as your doctor prescribes or refer to the prescribing information. Please consult with your doctor for personalized advice.

Side Effects and Precautions

The most common side effects of Colchicine may include constipation, diarrhea, pain in the abdomen, nausea, and vomiting (source).
