Colchicine | Medicine Information • Colchicine is a medication that is primarily used to treat gout and familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). It works by inhibiting the formation of microtubules, which are necessary for the movement of certain immune cells and the transport of materials within cells. This reduces inflammation and can help alleviate the symptoms of gout attacks and FMF. • Colchicine is typically taken orally, either as a tablet or capsule, and is usually prescribed in low doses for long-term use to prevent gout attacks or as a higher dose for acute gout attacks. It can cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain, particularly at higher doses. • It is important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions when taking colchicine and to let them know if you experience any side effects or have any other concerns. Additionally, you should not take colchicine if you have liver or kidney problems, or if you are taking certain other medications that can interact with it. • #medicineinformation • #Medicine #Information • [email protected]
