Colchicine is a medication used to prevent and treat gout attacks and familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). It works by decreasing swelling and lessening the build-up of uric acid crystals that cause pain in the affected joint(s).

How is this medication used?

For gout attacks, colchicine is usually taken at the first sign of pain, followed by another dose one hour later if instructed by your doctor. For prevention of gout or FMF, it is taken regularly, as prescribed. The dosage depends on your medical condition, kidney function, and response to treatment.

What are the possible side effects?

Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Rare but serious side effects may include muscle pain or weakness, numbness or tingling in the fingers or toes, unusual bleeding/bruising, severe weakness, fever, or signs of infection. If you experience any of these severe side effects, seek medical attention immediately.

What are the potential interactions?

Colchicine can interact with many medications including certain antibiotics, cholesterol-lowering drugs, and antifungal medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal products, as they may need to adjust your dose or monitor you more closely for side effects.
