Colchicine is a medication specifically used to treat and prevent gout attacks. Gout is characterised by sudden, severe attacks of pain, redness, and tenderness in joints, often at the base of the big toe. Colchicine helps by reducing inflammation and alleviating these symptoms.
While Colchicine is effective in managing gout, it's important to use it as directed. Do not exceed the recommended dosage, and always consider your personal health factors, such as age and any liver or kidney conditions.
Do not take Colchicine if you are allergic to it or any of its ingredients, have a severe blood disorder, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have severe kidney or liver problems. Also, avoid taking it if you are undergoing hemodialysis or if you have kidney or liver problems and are taking certain other medicines.
Always take Colchicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The tablets should be swallowed whole with water. The dose for treating a gout attack is usually one Colchicine Tablet, followed by another tablet after 1 hour. For preventing flare-ups, the typical dose is one tablet twice daily. Dosage adjustments may be needed for those with kidney or liver problems.
Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and diarrhea. Serious side effects may include symptoms such as fever, mouth inflammation, sore throat, prolonged bleeding, bruising, or skin problems, which could indicate serious blood problems due to bone marrow depression. Other side effects may include nerve inflammation, liver damage, hair loss, muscle pain or weakness, and kidney damage.
Colchicine should not be taken if you are pregnant, planning to have a baby, or breastfeeding. Women of childbearing potential should use effective contraception while taking Colchicine.
Colchicine may cause drowsiness and dizziness. If you are affected, do not drive or operate machinery.
If you take more Colchicine than prescribed, contact your doctor or nearest hospital emergency department immediately. Symptoms of overdose may include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, bloody diarrhea, and low blood pressure.
