Colchicine Side Effects

Colchicine side effects can be extremely serious. Intended for the treatment of acute gout, colchicine side effects included severe anemia and extremely low level of white blood cells. If allowed to continue affecting patients, colchicine side effects will worsen and can lead to infection. Colchicine side effects can also damage fetuses if taken by a pregnant woman.

Especially in older patients, it has been indicated that colchicine side effects are more likely to occur due to the body storing the colchicine for a longer period of time combined with the tendency for older patients to be more sensitive to colchicine side effects. It is important to take the proper dosage of medication and colchicine side effects can be experienced if too much is taken. In 2000, certain colchicine batches were recalled after realizing they contained too high of a dose, which could dramatically increase the risk for suffering from colchicine side effects.
