Understanding Colchicine
November 17, 2020
Colchicine, which is extracted from crocuses, is a medication for gout. It reduces the buildup of uric acid in the joints! Patients take it orally for pain during a gout attack or to prevent future attacks. Most adult patients take 1.2 milligrams when a flare begins. They will take 0.6 milligrams each day when they are using this medication as a prevention method. Certain patients need two of these doses a day. Of course, some patients need a lower dose. They are seniors and those with kidney damage!
