Colchicum

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone still uses Colchicum and where I could get some from

(other than in homeopathic form - unless its a mother tincture of course).

Most of the things I've tried for a particularly severe gout attack my father is

going through at the moment are barely making a difference.  His g.p. was

relcuctant to prescribe colchicine (probably more through inexperience than

anything else in my opinion) even though based on the rest of his medical

picture, colchicine is the recommended course of action (according to the BNF)

rather than the NSAIDs she sent him off with (which are actually contraindicated

for him!).

thanks,
