Should I continue to take colchicine in combination with allopurinol permanently, or is it time to stop colchicine?

50 -year-old man2 years ago
Hi, I started having gout attacks since July. After my 4th, my doctor prescribed me Allopurinol as a preventive measure, but still told me to continue taking colchicine at the same time. However, he did not tell me how long to continue taking colchicine. I have been taking both medications at the same time for 5 weeks now.

Hello, thank you for your question!
Colchicine also has a protective effect, if you are willing you can continue it along with the allopurinol.
Hopefully you have been helpful, please feel free if you have any other questions
