Colchicine is a medication that contains the active ingredient colchicine. It is commonly used to treat conditions such as gout and familial Mediterranean fever. Colchicine works by decreasing the inflammation caused by uric acid crystals in the joints, which helps reduce pain and swelling. This medication is suitable for individuals with gout or familial Mediterranean fever who need relief from symptoms like joint pain and inflammation.
About Colchicine
Dosage and usage
For gout treatment, the usual starting dose is 1.2 mg followed by 0.6 mg every hour (up to 1.8 mg total) until the pain is relieved or side effects become limiting. Do not exceed 1.8 mg in one hour or 4.8 mg in one day. For familial Mediterranean fever, the typical dose is lower and is based on your weight. The effects of colchicine can last for several hours. If you experience severe side effects or if your symptoms worsen, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
What Colchicine contains
Each colchicine tablet contains 500 mcg of colchicine as the active ingredient. The tablet also includes excipients such as lactose monohydrate, maize starch, povidone, and magnesium stearate.
Side effects
Common side effects of colchicine may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and abdominal pain. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include muscle weakness, numbness, tingling, severe diarrhoea, or easy bruising/bleeding.
Precautions
Do not take colchicine if you have severe kidney or liver problems. This medication is not recommended for pregnant women or children. If you have heart conditions, discuss with your doctor before using colchicine, as it may interact with certain medications like blood thinners. If you experience symptoms like muscle weakness or unusual bleeding, stop taking colchicine and seek medical advice.
