Colchicine 0.5mg Tablets (100s)

Product Overview

Colchicine 0.5mg Tablets from Howards are a medication used to treat and prevent gout flares. Gout is a type of arthritis that causes sudden and severe pain, swelling, and redness in the joints, most commonly in the big toe.

Key Benefits

How It Works

Colchicine works by binding to a protein called tubulin, which is involved in the formation of microtubules in cells. By inhibiting this process, colchicine reduces the inflammation and pain associated with gout flares. It also helps to prevent the formation of uric acid crystals in the joints, which can trigger gout attacks.
