Any info...ingredients, effectiveness, etc.? ## DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS WILL WORK FOR GOUT? ## Is it safe to take Artridol if one is a diabetic? ## I just picked some up during a lockdown flareup in my right ankle. The kind that feels like a car was parked on it. The Mexican pharmacy did not have indocine but they had ARTRIDOL. The attack was over in about 12 hours and 4 tablets. I went back and bought every package in the store. This has steriod so it is not a daily drug. It comes in blister packs of 10 in boxes of 20.

I take two Artridol with a flare up and one at 4 hour intervals with the last one before bed with plenty of w...

for gout use ## why is it that I cannon get a prescription filled for coltrazine? ## Well, it inhibits cell growth, slowly killing the body. It could be a liability issue. I'd say call your doctor and have them call it in somewhere for you. ## Just FYI for anyone else who may read this ... the drug is colchicine, not coltrazine. ## From what I've found, at one point there was a brand name for it that was Coltrazine, but yes the active ingredient is Colchicine. It's a toxic natural product that's used to treat gout, but the fact that it is toxic has raised serious safety concerns. The most common adverse effects, if used carefully and at the approved doses, are nausea and stomach irritation. Are there any questions or comments? There are more Colchicine details available...

Why can't I eat grapefruit/drink grapefruit juice when taking this medication? ## In short, the grapefruit juice can affect the absorbtion of the drug into your blood stream such that it may enter the blood stream too quickly and/or reach unhealthy levels in your blood stream.

GJ contains various furanocoumarins which have been demonstrated to affect the cytochrome p450(CYP) system (especially at isoenzyme CYP3A4) by binding to the isoenzyme as a substrate and impairing first-pass metabolism, by direct inactivation or inhibition of the enzyme (mechanism-based inhibitors). The net effect on the CYP enzymes from this inhibition seems to be...

Its approximately a cm in diameter. ??? ## From what I could gather, most of the "CL XXX" drugs seem to come from Concord Laboratories. You could try contacting them directly.
