Colchicine is an antiinflammatory agent effective against gout flares and familial Mediterranean fever [12] via interference with migration of neutrophils to sites of inflammation that have been induced by deposits of monosodium urate crystals in synovial fluid. In addition, colchicine blocks the inflammasome complex in neutrophils and monocytes, which mediate interleukin-1beta activation [4]. Colchicine is not an analgesic or an uricosuric agent
