Efficacy and Safety of Long-term Administration of Various Doses of Colchicine in Patients with Gout

-The use of colchicine 0.5 mg/day for the prevention of arthritis attacks in gout patients is justified due to the absence of differences in efficacy compared to the higher dose. However, prescribing colchicine 1 mg/day also demonstrates a good safety profile and may be considered for the prevention of arthritis attacks.
