Colchicine at 0.5 mg once or twice a day cut stroke risk by 50% and heart attacks by around 30%.

I have been prescribed this Med before, but always only for short periods of time. I tolerated it just fine.

Pity to anyone who has gout. I got an attack out of no where three years ago. I had no idea what happened and thought I broke my leg somehow. It was the most painful thing I ever experienced. Changed my diet and gave up beer and haven’t had an attack since.

There were some interesting comments on askapatient. I thought Colchicine was out of distribution years ago. I’m still confused. In my previous comment the dosage was .6 mg and was labeled Colchicine, not the newest version.

That’s a strange one because Celebrex was also an anti-inflammatory, but it caused heart attacks.

Regular exercise does it better, had no side effects and IS FREE.

If you’re going to start on Colchicine, make sure you have an extra pair or two of underwear trunks on hand!

It can also KILL you.

My wife has “pseudo gout” in her knees. A doctor prescribed Colchicine and when she starts to feel pain, she takes it for 2 days and it’s usually good for another month or two - effective and cheap...like drugs should be.
