Proper Usage:
Colchicine should only be obtained through legitimate channels and not purchased from sources outside of the United States or via the internet. Using colchicine improperly or without medical advice can result in severe side effects or even death. It is crucial to follow the directions on your prescription label and take the medication as instructed. Colchicine can be taken with or without food.
For the treatment of a gout attack, it is best to initiate colchicine at the first sign of the attack for maximum effectiveness. Delaying the administration of the medication may reduce its efficacy. If gout pain persists, your doctor may recommend a second, lower dose of colchicine to be taken one hour after the initial dose. Your specific dose will depend on the reason for taking colchicine, as dosages differ for gout and Mediterranean fever. Do not discontinue the use of colchicine unless instructed by your doctor, even if you feel well. If your symptoms fail to improve or worsen, consult your doctor. Long-term use of colchicine may require frequent medical tests.
Storage:
Colchicine should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture, heat, and light. Ensure that the bottle is tightly closed when not in use.
