INTRODUCTION ABOUT ZYCOLCHIN 0.5MG TABLET

ZYCOLCHIN
0.5MG TABLET contains Colchicine which belongs to a group of medicines
called Antigout agents. ZYCOLCHIN 0.5MG TABLET is used in adults, in the
short-term management of gout attacks and to manage gout recurrence. It
is also indicated in familial mediterranean fever (FMF) to manage fever
attacks and amyloidosis (a rare protein disorder that interferes with
normal functioning of organs). Gout is a common and complex form of
arthritis (joint pain) which is characterized by sudden, severe attacks
of pain, swelling, redness and tenderness in one or more joints which
most often occurs in the big toe. Familial mediterranean fever is a
genetic disorder that causes recurrent fevers and painful inflammation
of the abdomen, chest and joints.

Colchicine is an antigout agent
which works by lessening the buildup of hard uric acid crystals in the
joints by reducing the uric acid level in the blood which are needed for
the formation of hard uric acid crystals that cause pain in joints
resulting in the decreased swelling and relief from pain in the joints.
It also works by managing the occurrence of pain in the abdomen, chest
or joints in patients suffering from familial mediterranean fever by
decreasing the production of amyloid protein which is an abnormal
protein that forms due to a rare protein disease called amyloidosis
which causes interference in the normal functioning of an organ. Along
with this management, your doctor might advise regular blood tests to
check for any occurence of blood disorders.

Before taking
ZYCOLCHIN 0.5MG TABLET, inform your doctor if you are allergic to
Colchicine, and or have blood disorders, heart, kidney, or liver disease
which is not recommended for use in patients with severe liver or
kidney disease. ZYCOLCHIN 0.5MG TABLET is not recommended for use in
pregnant women when indicated for gout management and used with caution
in familial mediterranean fever (FMF) only if it’s clearly necessary in
pregnant and childbearing potential women who should use effective
contraception during and for at least 3 months following the termination
of management with ZYCOLCHIN 0.5MG TABLET when indicated for gout
management. ZYCOLCHIN 0.5MG TABLET is not recommended for use to manage
gout in children and adolescents (below 18 years of age) which is
indicated for use in children less than 5 years of age and adolescents
(from 10 to 18 years of age) in the management of familial mediterranean
fever (FMF) after consulting the doctor for an advice. The most common
side effects of taking ZYCOLCHIN 0.5MG TABLET are nausea, vomiting,
abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Contact your doctor if any of the
symptoms worsen.
