Abstract

Colchicine is a drug used for the treatment of acute gouty arthritis or various autoimmune diseases. Gastrointestinal adverse effects such as abdominal pain and vomiting are the common side effects of the drug, but rarely myopathy has been reported to occur particularly in renal recipients who were treated concomitantly with immunosuppressants. Herein, we report a case who presented with acute myopathy after treated with colchicine for acute gouty arthritis.
