Overview

Colchimil 0.6mg Tablet contains Colchicine 0.6mg and is presented as a tablet. It is supplied in a pack size of 10s.

It is classified as a non-prescription medicine, so no prescription is needed to order it. Under Malaysian rules for medicine information, this page carries product, safety and handling information only.

You can consult a doctor or pharmacist online on DoctorOnCall about this product before or after you order. Every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is delivered. Always read the label and the leaflet supplied with the pack.

Directions for Use

Take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor following an online consultation, generally taken by mouth with water, with or without food. For an acute gout attack, treatment usually works best when started as soon as symptoms begin, and the exact dosing schedule prescribed by your doctor should be followed precisely, without taking extra doses even if pain is severe.

Dosage

Dosage and duration of treatment must be determined by the prescribing doctor and followed exactly as directed, as colchicine has a narrow margin between an effective and a toxic dose. Doses are often reduced in people with kidney or liver impairment, the elderly, or those taking certain interacting medicines, so these factors must be assessed by the doctor before treatment is prescribed, and the maximum dose per course should never be exceeded.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, and keep the tablets in their original blister packaging until use. Keep out of the reach and sight of children at all times, given the serious toxicity risk if accidentally ingested.

Side Effects

  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea
  • Vomiting
  • Abdominal pain
  • Fatigue
  • Headache
  • Muscle weakness (in prolonged use or high doses)

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to colchicine
  • Severe kidney or liver impairment, unless specifically dosed and monitored by a doctor
  • Combined use with certain strong CYP3A4 or P-glycoprotein inhibiting medicines in patients with kidney or liver impairment, due to risk of serious toxicity
  • Blood disorders affecting bone marrow function
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding, unless specifically advised by a doctor

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Certain antibiotics (such as clarithromycin) and antifungal medicines can significantly increase colchicine levels in the body, raising the risk of serious toxicity
  • Certain cholesterol-lowering medicines (statins) combined with colchicine may increase the risk of muscle-related side effects
  • Grapefruit and grapefruit juice may increase colchicine levels and should generally be avoided
  • Ciclosporin and certain other medicines that affect colchicine clearance require caution and dose adjustment under medical supervision

Quick Tips

  • Take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor; never adjust the dose yourself, even during a painful flare
  • Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe vomiting, diarrhoea, or muscle weakness, as these may be early signs of toxicity
  • Tell your doctor about all other medicines you are taking before starting this treatment, due to significant interaction risks
  • Avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice while taking this medicine
  • Attend any follow-up blood tests or monitoring your doctor recommends
  • Keep out of reach of children, as colchicine can be highly toxic even in small overdoses

Ingredients / Active Ingredients

Relevant Information

Because colchicine has a narrow therapeutic index and significant interaction potential, treatment must be individualised by a doctor based on kidney and liver function, other medicines being taken, and the severity of the gout attack. Colchicine treats the acute inflammation of a gout flare but does not address the underlying high uric acid levels, so ongoing management of gout, including lifestyle measures and possibly separate urate-lowering therapy, should be discussed with the prescribing doctor.
