IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

COLCRYS can cause serious side effects or death if levels of COLCRYS are too high in your body. Taking certain medicines with COLCRYS can cause your level of COLCRYS to be too high, even at recommended doses, especially if you have kidney or liver problems.
Tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions and all the medicines you take, including prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements, and if you consume grapefruit juice.
Fatal overdoses, both accidental and intentional, have been reported in adults and children who have ingested colchicine. Keep COLCRYS out of the reach of children.
COLCRYS can also cause serious muscle problems and blood disorders even when taken as directed. You have a higher chance for muscle problems if you are elderly, are taking certain other medicines with COLCRYS, or have kidney problems.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away.
The most common side effects in people who have gout flares are diarrhea (23%) and throat pain (3%).

For further information, please talk to your healthcare provider and see the complete Prescribing Information and Medication Guide for COLCRYS.
