For pain? preventio?: If Colchicine doesn't control pain, may need to add anti-inflammatory (nsaid like indomethacin, or prednisone). To prevent flares, diet changes and medicines that lower uric acid are helpful.

May not be for you: I have tending to use shot courses of steroids over the last 10 years of motr. The steroids help reduce the inflammation of a gout attack and may decrease their frequency better then colchicine. There are also medications to reduce uric acid such as uloric and Allopurinol and they work differently then colchicine. Also watch your diet.
