COLCHICINE PROBENECID USES
This medication is a combination of colchicine and probenecid.
Colchicine is used in the treatment of gout. It relieves the
pain of gout and helps prevent further attacks. Probenecid
helps clear the body of uric acid which is increased in cases
of gout. The combination is effective in the treatment of
gout.
HOW TO USE COLCHICINE PROBENECID
This medication is taken after an acute attack of gout has
ended. It will not relieve an attack in progress. While taking
this medication, drink at least six to eight 8 oz glasses
of fluid a day to help prevent development of kidney stones.
To help relieve stomach upset, this medication may be taken
with food or antacids.

Stomach pain, loss of appetite, nausea, or vomiting may occur
as your body adjusts to the medication. Inform your doctor
if these effects persist or become bothersome. Notify your
doctor if you develop: yellowing of the eyes or skin, sore
throat, easy bruising or bleeding, muscle aches, numbness
or tingling of legs and arms, fatigue, rash, fever, sore gums,
breathing difficulties, itchy skin. If you notice other effects
