What is Colchicine, Brand or Generic, Effects

Because colchicine was developed prior to federal regulations requiring FDA review of all marketed drug products, the uses for colchicine have not been approved by the FDA. Newer drugs have been developed and FDA-approved to treat the conditions that colchicine is used to treat.

Colchicine affects the way the body responds to uric acid crystals, which reduces swelling and pain.

Colchicine is used to treat or prevent attacks of gout. It is also used to treat symptoms of Behcets syndrome (such as swelling, redness, warmth, and pain).

Colchicine is not a cure for gouty arthritis or Behcets syndrome, and it will not prevent these diseases from progressing.

Colchicine may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
