What are the Potential Side Effects of Colchicine in Children?
While colchicine is generally well tolerated, it can cause side effects, especially if not dosed correctly. Common side effects include gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. More serious side effects, although rare, may include bone marrow suppression, neuromuscular toxicity, and renal impairment. Regular monitoring and appropriate dose adjustments are essential to prevent these adverse effects.
