Colchecine

[shannon]

My specialists gave me colchecine even before starting me on the immunoglobulin injections. I tried to clarify why they were trying this med because it's actually for gout.  They were using it for "off label" purpose with me but my pharmacist doesn't  get it either. It was hard on my stomach and I noticed a bit of unusual hair loss so I stopped it. It didn't seem to do anything for me either. 

I'm wondering if anyone has been given colchecine and what your experience with it was like. I would also be interested in any reasons your drs might have given you for prescribing it.

Thanks everyone!

Hi Shannon,

I can't think why they'd want to give you that, I'd never heard of it before but looking it up (I have a background in Pharmacology) I don't see at all how that could be of any benefit to you. Next time you see them perhaps you should ask for a straight answer from them.

Thanks,

Sam.
