Adverse Reactions

The most frequent adverse effects of oral colchicine are those involving the gastrointestinal tract and may be associated with its antimitotic action. Diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain are often the first signs of toxicity and are usually an indication that colchicine therapy should be stopped or the dose reduced. Larger dose may cause profuse diarrhoea, gastrointestinal haemorrhage, skin rashes, and renal and hepatic damage. Rarely, bone marrow depression with agranulocytosis, thrombocytopenia, and aplastic anemia have occurred on prolonged treatment as have peripheral neuropathy, myopathy, rashes, and alopecia.
