Colchicine is the primary active ingredient found in Zycolchin tablets. It functions as an anti-inflammatory medication. Zycolchin is intended to alleviate the pain associated with a gout attack. While Zycolchin aids in preventing gout attacks, it does not provide a cure for the condition. This medication is not a typical pain reliever and is not effective for most types of pain.
Zycolchin is utilized to avert gout attacks and to provide relief when such attacks occur. Additionally, it is employed in the treatment of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), a genetic disorder that results in episodes of fever, abdominal swelling and pain, as well as swelling in the lungs and joints. This medication functions as a painkiller for alleviating these symptoms.
Side effects: diarrhea, pain in the throat and larynx, abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting.
