A member asked:

Can 0.6 mg daily of colchicine for a month be toxic? i also take miralax (polyethylene glycol) and prilosec. i'm scared but i need it for recurrent pericarditis

It should be OK: You need to work with your physician on the benefit vs toxicity. You need to judge these to see if it helps. It should be OK but your physicians who know best can help you judge.
