Colchicine is usually prescribed for accute
gout attacks. Taken for
gout, it clears the uric acid from the system. By itself, it can cause terrible stomach pain, cramps, and diarreaha.
Aspirin, by itself, can cause terrible upper GI discomfort and and bleeding ulcers.
I hope the best for you and your husband, and I think if you find another doctor, you might get somewhere with his treatment.
