I have been prescribed this drug for a heart condition. Has anyone else been prescribed this drug for a similar condition.
- Depends on a lot of things. If you have cardiac amyloidosis after chronic inflammation or familial Meditteranean fever, this sounds entirely appropriate. Otherwise, it is not normally used in heart disease. JFW | T@lk 02:35, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Edits by Gzuckier
I like the edits recently done by Gzuckier, I think they add to ease of read. But I think they add a bit of redundancy and repitition to the affected sentence. The repeated bits (chromosome seperation) were originally added by me, but I prefer gzuckier's edit, but i don't feel worthy to fix the flow of the article, perhaps someone can step up to the plate?

I recently was prescribed Cholchicine for FMF that I had for 20 years before any doctor could figure it out. However now that I take the pill everyday I am afraid that it could be causing detriments to my body. Any suggestions to counter them?

[edit] Correction about use early in gout attack
I removed the sentence "Starting the drug early during an attack of gout can exacerbate the symptoms" because it's probably wrong:
1. There was no reference.
2. It's contrary to what I've heard and my experience.
3. See http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/406509_6 and http://www.rheumatology.org/public/factsheets/gout_new.asp which say it's good in early gout.
4. Some other drugs such as Allopurinol are bad early in an attack which is possibly the source of the confusion.
5. I could be wrong and would be happy to read references saying that colchicine is bad in early gout.
