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.

I know the fruit and juice can cause problems but I'm curious about the essential oil. I use an all natural body cream that has grapefruit essential oil in it. Should I stop using it? ## Hello, Anissa! How are you? No, that shouldn't affect your medication. It is the way the grapefruit juice acts on various digestive enzymes and liver enzymes that causes reduced efficacy of some medications. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Colchicine as possibly including nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain and stomach cramping. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you for the prompt reply. Truly. It's appreciated.

Can I take both these medication for gout? Thank You! ## Hello, Bernard! How are you? You can, as long as they have both been prescribed for you and your doctor approves. The FDA classifies Oxycodone as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Colchicine may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness and neutropenia. Is there anything else I can help with?

By Rimsa of Mexico, capsule, 25 gm. Told was good for arthritis pain. Any info...ingredients, effectiveness, etc.? ## DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS WILL WORK FOR GOUT? ## Is it safe to take Artridol if one is a diabetic? ## I just picked some up during a lockdown flareup in my right ankle. The kind that feels like a car was parked on it. The Mexican pharmacy did not have indocine but they had ARTRIDOL. The attack was over in about 12 hours and 4 tablets. I went back and bought every package in the store. This has steriod so it is not a daily drug. It comes in blister packs of 10 in boxes of 20. It is worth a trip to Mexico and pick up some colchicine there as well but watch the dose. I take two Artridol with a flare up and one at 4 hour intervals with the last one before bed with plenty of w...

What pain medication can I take with Colchicine? Colchicine is not reducing the plain of my gout, only the swelling! ## Hello, Tonypps! How are you? I didn't find any interactions listed between the Colchicine and any of the standard over the counter medications, including Aspirin, Acetaminophen and Naproxen. However, it's always best to double check with your doctor. As listed by the FDA these medications may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach irritation and increased risk of bleeding. Is there anything else I can help with?

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.

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...

Why can't I eat grapefruit/drink grapefruit juice when taking this medication? ## In short, the grapefruit juice can affect the absorbtion of the drug into your blood stream such that it may enter the blood stream too quickly and/or reach unhealthy levels in your blood stream. "Drugs that interact with grapefruit and/or grapefruit juice (GJ) undergo cytochrome p450 oxidative metabolism in the intestinal wall or liver. GJ contains various furanocoumarins which have been demonstrated to affect the cytochrome p450(CYP) system (especially at isoenzyme CYP3A4) by binding to the isoenzyme as a substrate and impairing first-pass metabolism, by direct inactivation or inhibition of the enzyme (mechanism-based inhibitors). The net effect on the CYP enzymes from this inhibition seems to be...

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...

I am looking for coltrazine or a inexpensive equivalent for a family member with gout. they are one a very limited budget and need assistance getting medicine on a regular basis. ## A couple other prescription brand names you may want to consider looking into are Colchicine and Colcrys. Additionally, there are a number of natural alternatives for treating gout, such as Rosemary Oil, which may be just as effective as some prescription meds, although without the side effects. Other Essential Oils I would highly recommend include: -Lavender -Geranium -Ginger -Fennel -Cypress -Juniper -Roman Chamomile -Eucalyptus -Lemon -Peppermint More details on this can be found by clicking here I would think that many of these Essential Oils would be far cheaper than refilling prescriptions.

IS THERE A COUPON I CAN GET TO HELP ON COST OF COLTRAZINE? ## The drug name "coltrazine" does not show up under any searches with enough information proving that this is the name of a drug. Because of this I can't locate any coupons under this name... Did you mean to say Colchicine by chance? Colchicine's medicinal use is in the treatment of gout and familial Mediterranean fever; it can also be used as initial treatment for pericarditis and preventing recurrences of the condition, despite dosing issues concerning its toxicity. Let me know if this sound like a match… If it does, there are some coupons available: I hope this helps! ## THANK YU VERY MUCH FOR THE INFO
