Can I Take Colchicine And Prednisone Together For Gout

I've been diagnosed with gout, and my doctor has prescribed a treatment plan for me. I'm to take 0.6 mg of Colchicine twice daily, in addition to completing the remaining six pills from my 10 mg Prednisone pack. Can I take Colchicine and Prednisone together?

I experienced a gout flare-up on Wednesday morning and began following the prescribed prednisone regimen immediately upon waking up. The dosage plan is to take three 20 mg pills for the first three days, then reduce the dose to two pills for the next three days, and finally, take one pill for another three days. I am currently on the second day of the treatment. How long does it typically take for the prednisone to start working?
Yes, they can be taken together, with your doctor's approval. The only problem listed is that the Prednisone may slightly reduce the efficacy of the Colchicine.
The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, acne and weight changes.

I hope this helps!
