Colchicine is a medication that has a profound impact on the body’s response to uric acid crystals, resulting in reduced swelling and pain. It is important to note that while the Colcrys brand of colchicine has received FDA approval for specific uses, not all applications of colchicine have undergone FDA review due to its development predating certain federal regulations.
FDA-Approved Uses:
- Gout Treatment and Prevention: The Colcrys brand of colchicine has been approved by the FDA for treating and preventing gout in adults.
- Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) Treatment: Colcrys is also approved for managing FMF, a genetic condition, in both adults and children aged four and older.
- Gout Flare Prevention: The Mitigare brand of colchicine is FDA-approved for preventing gout flares in adults.
