My doctor prescribed a medicine that's used to treat gout. He told me that there's a 1 in 3 chance that it can fix the problem. I accepted the medicine and tried it for a few weeks. (He wanted me to take it for SIX MONTHS).
The medicine is called Probenecid-Colchicine.
He told me to take it twice a day for 6 months. But, after a few weeks, I got discouraged and stopped taking it (stupid decision on my part!). Just yesterday, after a full year of this now, I decided to give it another shot. I'm back on the meds and will go the full 6 months as he recommended. But now, I think it may be too late and the tissue seems to have 'settled' to what it is now (the 'chronic' phase?). I'm going to try though.
MY QUESTION
Has anybody been prescribed this drug? The 'name' of the drug might be the generic name but I know it's definitely for the treatment of gout. Any input (or even possible success stories) would be wonderful to hear. ALL news from anyone who's tried this, good or bad, is good information to me. (Thanks in advance!)
Thanks!
UPDATE: I searched the board and read anything and everything to do with Colchicine. There was a lot of good information but there's one thing I didn't find.
Has anyone had a huge success rate with this drug? Anyone get healed and cured completely?
I guess I'm just trying to decide whether it's worth trying again. Any help is appreciated.
I've never heard of it. But would be interested if it's effective.
I took it and go no positive results. If you read the potential side-effect it is sobering. I realize everyone does not get every side-effect but it reads like a strong chemo drug for cancer.
It did reduce my white blood cell count and the doctor took me off of it.
Highly unlikely that there's any 1 pill out there that on its own heals peyronies. It's a multitude of treatments some use to get this problem solved.
It is used for gout.
