Gout (also known as podagra when it involves the big toe)[1] is a medical condition usually characterized by recurrent attacks of acute inflammatory arthritis—a red, tender, hot, swollen joint. The metatarsal-phalangeal joint at the base of the big toe is the most commonly affected (approximately 50% of cases). However, it may also present as tophi, kidney stones, or urate nephropathy.

Help small Yellow Round Pill blank on one side other side has o 0.6
it is a small yellow round pill with a half way cut line on it there is a o on top of the line and 0.6 on the bottom the other side is blank. ## Hi megan, From what I could gather, a round yellow scored tablet engraved "O/0.6" contains Colchicine USP (0.6 mg); from Canada. Colchicine is in a class of medications called anti-gout agents. It works by stopping the natural processes that cause swelling and other symptoms of gout and FMF. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Colchicine Details I hope this helps!

Is Sulfa In Allopurinal
Does allopurinol contain any sulfa? ## Based on my research, Allopurinol is not listed as a sulfa-containing drug. NOTE: Allopurinol, however, is regarded as one of the leading causes of Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS) - a condition that is also linked to many sulfa drugs. Just something I feel more patients should be aware of before taking this medication. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Allopurinol Details I hope this helps to answer your question!

allopurinol tab 300 mg
peach color with numbers 0524 and 0410 ## I have been taking 50mg/day of Allopurinol for the past two-3 months however, my doctor, upon checking my feet at my last office visit, changed my dose to 300 mg/day. Are there any side effects I need to be aware of especially at this increase?MPHP ## For anyone else seeking information… The most severe problem that higher doses of Allopurinol may cause in some people is a hypersensitivity syndrome, so it's very important to contact your doctor immediately if you experience a fever, rash and/or yellowing of the skin. You can learn more Allopurinol details here. It should also not be used by pregnant women, or those trying to conceive. Are there any comments or questions? Is there anything I can help with?

coltazine
pain medication ## Hello, Are you referring to Coltrazine or Colchicine perhaps? Based on my research It is a medication used to treat gout, a kind of arthritis that occurs when uric acid builds up in blood and causes joint inflammation. It is not classified as a pain medication, but it is supposed to reduce pain by blocking inflammation caused by uric acid crystals. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Colchicine Details Please post back if this is indeed the medication you are referring to or if you'd like more information.

What Does Wat Mean following a prescription drug
The drug I'm taking is probenecid 500mg tablet wat....what does " wat" mean ... Drug was given to me and a patient advisory leaflet was given to me and that's when I noticed "wat" at the end of the drug received .....It said :Probenecid 500 mg tablet wat ? ## Hi Robert, Based on my research "WAT" stands for the name of the manufacturer. So it could just be an abbreviation for Watson Pharmaceuticals. The way that it's listed on Costco.com's pharmacy page, depicts it as being the manufacturer's name as well: costco.com/Pharmacy/DrugInfo.aspx?p=1&SearchTerm=a&Drug=PROBENECID I hope this info helps to answer your question!

Coltrazine
for gout use ## why is it that I cannon get a prescription filled for coltrazine? ## Well, it inhibits cell growth, slowly killing the body. It could be a liability issue. I'd say call your doctor and have them call it in somewhere for you. ## Just FYI for anyone else who may read this ... the drug is colchicine, not coltrazine. ## From what I've found, at one point there was a brand name for it that was Coltrazine, but yes the active ingredient is Colchicine. It's a toxic natural product that's used to treat gout, but the fact that it is toxic has raised serious safety concerns. The most common adverse effects, if used carefully and at the approved doses, are nausea and stomach irritation. Are there any questions or comments? There are more Colchicine details available...

Pill Markings CL 201
white circular tablet with markings on on side "CL 201" and the other side is blank. Its approximately a cm in diameter. ??? ## From what I could gather, most of the "CL XXX" drugs seem to come from Concord Laboratories. You could try contacting them directly. Unfortunately there is no drug info on their website. Right now, the closest match I'm finding is a white, round-shaped pill, imprinted with "CL" on one side and "020" on the other. This pill is identified as Colchicine (0.6mg). Another close but similar match is a white round pill imprinted with "CL" over "022" on one side (separated by a horizontal score line), and blank on the other side. This pill is identified as Carisoprodol (350mg) If anything, I hope this info helps to na...
