A member asked:

Hi i'm taking colchicine for a gout attack my first, i only have 2 tablets left and i'm in pain without much change. is this common thanks ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, add other meds: One colchicine twice daily, along with either an anti inflammatory or low dose prednisone may help! Avoid red meats, alcohol and sodas!,, may need to see a rheumatologist for a cortisone injection and further eval! Check Uris acid level in your blood, good luck!
