Frequently Asked Questions

How does Colchicine / Generic of Colcrys , Mitigare work?

The acute gout initiates an inflammatory response and releases a glycoprotein. The release of glycoprotein aggravates the inflammation by increasing lactic acid production from inflammatory cells and by releasing lysosomal enzymes. The increased lactic acid production decreases the local pH and cause more precipitation of urate crystals in the joint. The release of lysosomal enzymes causes joint destruction. Colcrys inhibits the synthesis of glycoprotein and subsequent events by binding to protein tubulin. Colcrys inhibits granulocyte migration into the inflamed joint.
