🧠 : Colchicine

💊 What is Colchicine?
Colchicine is a prescription anti-inflammatory medicine used to prevent and treat gout attacks, also to manage other inflammatory conditions. It is taken orally in tablet, capsule, or liquid form.

🎯 How It Works
Colchicine disrupts the inflammatory process by preventing microtubule assembly in immune cells, interfering with inflammasome activation and reduces inflammatory cell movement and signaling, helping to calm acute inflammation seen in gout attacks.

📌 Uses
- Prevents gout flares
- Treats an active gout attack
- Used in other inflammatory conditions (e.g. Pericarditis and Familial Mediterranean Fever/FMF)

⚠️ Important to Know
- It can cause gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, and vomiting.
- Because its mechanism affects cell work, side effects must be monitored carefully.

👨‍⚕️ Pharmacists’ Role:
- Ensure safe dosing and prevent toxicity, especially in patients with kidney or liver impairment.
- Screen for drug interactions.
- Educate patients on when to take colchicine for flare versus prevention.
- Counsel on side effects and when urgent medical attention is needed.
- Promote adherence to long-term therapy for gout and FMF.

📢 Spot the Classic of Diabetes Signs
Know the FULL Picture of Diabetes Warning Signs! 🧐

As healthcare professionals, we know the classic trio—Polyuria (frequent urination), Polydipsia (increased thirst), and Polyphagia (increased hunger)—are critical. But for a complete assessment, look out for these other red flags:

📉 Unexplained Weight Loss: Especially rapid loss, as the body burns fat/muscle for energy.
😴 Extreme Fatigue: Cells are starving for glucose, leading to persistent lack of energy.
👁 Blurred Vision: Caused by temporary fluid shifts in the eye's lens.
🤕 Slow-Healing Sores/Frequent Infections: High glucose impairs immune function and healing.
⚡ Numbness or Tingling (Neuropathy): Often in the hands or feet, signaling nerve damage.

When patients present with these non-specific complaints, pharmacists and ECPs must think holistically and encourage immediate screening. Early detection prevents life-threatening complications!
