@livingbeyondgout: 💊 WHY DO DOCTORS PRESCRIBE COLCHICINE WHEN STARTING GOUT TREATMENT? 🤔 ⚠️ Did you know that starting uric-acid-lowering treatment can sometimes trigger a gout flare? 🔬 As uric acid levels begin to fall, existing urate crystal deposits can become destabilized, temporarily increasing the risk of painful flares. ✅ That’s why doctors may prescribe low-dose colchicine to help prevent flares during the early months of treatment. 💡 Remember: Colchicine helps control inflammation—it does NOT lower uric acid itself. Always follow your doctor’s instructions. 💬 Were you prescribed colchicine when you started allopurinol?
