colchicine is more for the acute discomfort. You can take allopurinol with it.

I had attacks when in England,from 90'-2000.These over here are more frequent,and,don't respond to the treatment as well.Alupurinol,colcicine and diclomax would seem favourite but,I have a drawer full of them,my advice,and that of any doctor over here,..if its got wings, dont eat it! Chicken is full of URIC acid which is the cause, I suppose you are on a high drink diet same as me,lol, see what happens when you give the KFC a miss. Good luck. Tony from Pattaya
