Art, stay away from tylenol and stuff with tylenol in it if you are taking that much Allopurinol.

A few years ago some big pharma company did some bureaucratic gymnastics and got the sole rights to clochicine. It was a pre FDA drug, so this company did a bunch of crap that resulted in their have sole rights to their version of colchicine, colcris, or however you spell it, and prohibitied other colchicine from being sold. Went from a dime for a pill to five dollars.
I remember that. I had my doc write me a colchicine Rx, like 50-100 tablets I think, so as to have a supply. I have taken maybe 2 colchicine tablets/yr since getting my weight and sUA down. I wonder what the shelf life is?
