What was your professional reaction to colchicine and/or allopurinol for gout?

See below: Colchicine is usually used in acute gout where Indocin (indomethacin) is used for long term care to help avoid gout.

Use both: The Allopurinol can mobilize uric acid and the Indocin (indomethacin) may prevent gout attack.Good strategy.
