A member asked:
What to do if i have familial mediterranean fever and taking colchicine, 1mg. recently discovered coronary calcium builtup?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See Cardiologist: Familial Mediterranean Fever is treated effectively in most patients with colchicine. Colchicine is not involved in calcium deposits in the coronary arteries. Suggest to see a Cardiologist regarding cause, importance and possible treatment. You undoubtedly have had arthritis with this and the treatment is appropriate.
