Hi...
Hope ALL are gout-free!

Question...anyone know how I can get an order of colchicine without a prescription? or know a doctor who will prescribe an order without charging me $250 for a 5-10 minute office visit.

Currently was laid off and trying to start up a company and I'm running low on colchicine...

Any advice?

Thank You!

" Colchicine can be toxic, even fatal. It should not be used without doctor supervision. It is not a recommended gout palliative any more.

The best advice for any gout sufferer is to make sure that you don't have sleep apnea as its underlying cause. It is the underlying cause in at least 50% of gout cases, but doctors are clueless to screen for it. "
