Comment:
After taking this medicine for 20 days I noticed that the skin on my forehead was peeling constantly. I first attributed this to dry skin and cold weather. I was also feeling flush and as if I had fever. My skin turned a bright pink color and was very sensitive. I stopped taking colcrys and it took 2 days for my skin to resume its normal color. I consider a very dangerous medication.

Comment:
except for the $325/month price I like it. I am now getting colchicine tabs through a relative in Mexico for $3/month over the counter---go figure...less than 1% of the cost of US pills.
