Overview

Goutnor 500mcg Tablet is supplied as a tablet, with Colchicine 500mcg. It is supplied in a pack size of 10s.

No prescription is required for this product, as it is a non-prescription medicine. This page is limited to product, safety and handling information.

If you would like guidance before buying, you can speak to a doctor or pharmacist through an online consultation on DoctorOnCall. Orders are dispensed by a registered pharmacist and delivered to your address.

Directions for Use

Goutnor 500mcg Tablet should only be taken according to the exact dose, frequency, and duration prescribed by your doctor following an online consultation with DoctorOnCall. Tablets are usually swallowed whole with a glass of water, and may be taken with or without food; taking with food may help reduce stomach upset. Do not take extra doses to relieve pain faster, as colchicine can become toxic quickly if taken in excess.

Dosage

The dosage of Goutnor 500mcg Tablet is determined individually by your prescribing doctor based on whether it is being used to treat an acute gout flare or to prevent future attacks, as well as your kidney and liver function and other medicines you take. For an acute attack a doctor may prescribe an initial dose followed by smaller doses at intervals, up to a defined maximum within a course, while prophylactic use typically involves a low once- or twice-daily dose; doses are often reduced in older adults or those with reduced kidney function. Always follow your prescription exactly and never adjust the dose yourself.

Shelf Life

Goutnor 500mcg Tablet is generally stable for up to 24 to 36 months from the date of manufacture when stored correctly and unopened. Always check the expiry date printed on the blister strip or carton before use, and do not take the tablets if the date has passed.

Storage Instructions

Store Goutnor 500mcg Tablet at room temperature, below 30 degrees Celsius, in a dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the tablets in their original packaging until ready to use, and keep well out of reach and sight of children, as colchicine can be dangerous even in small overdoses.

Relevant Information

Colchicine has a narrow therapeutic index, meaning the difference between an effective and a toxic dose is small, so Goutnor 500mcg Tablet must only be used under close medical supervision. Doctors will often check kidney and liver function before and during treatment, and review other medicines being taken to avoid dangerous interactions. Lifestyle measures such as limiting alcohol, reducing purine-rich foods, and maintaining a healthy weight are commonly recommended alongside medical treatment to help manage gout in the longer term.
