Important Information
Colchicine Tablet IP should be used strictly according to the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional because the difference between an effective and toxic dose can be small. Dose adjustment may be required in patients with kidney or liver impairment, and colchicine can interact with several medicines. Excessive use can cause serious toxicity, including severe gastrointestinal symptoms, muscle injury, and blood-cell abnormalities. Seek urgent medical attention for severe diarrhea or vomiting, unusual weakness, muscle pain, numbness, or unusual bleeding.
