The first time I took this drug it was very effective. This time it has not worked as well and there are side effects which I did not experience the last time.

I was a virgin gout sufferer and the doctor gave me the perscription and reduced the swelling immediately. I am very pleased with the drug and will keep it close by always. No diarria or stomach problems.

As with most other reviews I've read on here, I have had diarhea after taking this drug. However, I've had a handful of gout attacks over the past 10 years or so and my pain usually doesn't completely subside for about 2 weeks with the worst of it lasting about 2 or 3 days.

I have usually waited to see the doctor until several days into an attack and was prescribed colchicine to reduce the swelling. I had some remaining from my last gout episode and this time, I was able to started taking colchicine twice a day immediately after the gout attack and have pretty much eliminated the pain in a week. I have to admit, the first attack I had about 10 years ago, a doctor had me taking it once an hour or once every 2 hours and it made me violently sick to my stomach, though.

My husband suffers from gout and had a particularily bad case in the left ankle. Went to the ER specifically for colchicine because we heard of the pain relief that came with it. Never again. Explosive diarrhea came first, then the nausea, and currently, the projectile vomiting. I am monitoring to make sure he doesn't start bleeding in his GI tract. He is so sick, and the pain in his foot/ank ... Show Full Comment

Explosive diarrhea came first, then the nausea, and currently, the projectile vomiting. I am monitoring to make sure he doesn't start bleeding in his GI tract. He is so sick, and the pain in his foot/ankle is only 50% better.

First time use because I can not use Nsaids anylonger. It was awful. Took as Dr. Directed. One pill .06 per hour for 4 hours and then 3 the next day and following if persists. About 8 hours after the 2nd day my toe pain was mostly gone and I started feeling nausea and began forced diarrhea which lasted 28 hours about every 30 minutes. Also one heavy bout of vomiting. I WILL NEVER TAKE AGAIN!
