Proper dose of colchicine?
I just had my first experience taking Colchicine to relief a case ofgout. The bottle said to take one pill every hour until I began tofeel relief so I took one every hour for six hours and still didn’tfeel any relief when I went to bed. The next morning most of thepain was gone except for a small sore spot that soon went away.
My problem was thatfor the rest of the day I was bothered withintense nausea and diarrhea which didn’t go away until the next day.
My question is: Has anyone else had the same experience taking sixtabs (0.6 milligrams) and if so did they find by reducing the dosagethat they still found relief without the side effects?
