How should I take Colchicine?
If your doctor has prescribed the Colcrys brand of Colchicine, do not use any other type or brand of the medication. Colcrys is the only brand of Colchicine that has been approved by the FDA. If you use a generic brand of Colchicine, you may be using an unapproved dose of Colchicine, which could be dangerous. Do not purchase Colchicine on the Internet or from vendors outside of the United States. Using Colchicine improperly or without the advice of a doctor can result in serious side effects or death.
Take Colchicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take it in larger amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Colchicine can be taken with or without food.
Your dose will depend on the reason you are taking Colchicine. Colchicine doses for gout and Mediterranean fever are different.
To treat a gout attack, for best results take Colchicine at the first sign of the attack. The longer you wait to start taking Colchicine, the less effective it may be.
You may need to take a second lower dose of Colchicine 1 hour after the first dose if you still have gout pain. Follow your doctor’s instructions.
If you use Colchicine over a long period of time, your blood may need to be tested on a regular basis. Do not miss any scheduled appointments.
Store Colchicine at room temperature away from moisture, heat, and light.
