Colchicine is a drug most commonly used to treat avian gout, a metabolic disease where uric acid crystals deposit in joints creating pain. It is also used for the treatment of amyloidosis. This is because colchicine stimulates enzymes called collagenases, which break down collagen protein, inhibiting liver cells from making amyloid A.
Storage Recommendations
