Hello, my father had problems with his thumbs. He felt pain for some time and it intensified. In the thumb area, some swelling occurred and he went to a doctor. He told him that he has gouty arthritis and gave him to use colchicine. Can you tell me something about that drug? Will it be effective?
Yes, it will be effective because it is produced especially for gouty arthritis. It is often used with some other medicaments, because gouty arthritis is a complex condition (some “bad” substances accumulate in the organism, in joints sometimes). Pain occurs because of that, but that is where Colchicine starts working.
