Probenecid and colchicine combination is used to treat gout or gouty arthritis.

The probenecid in probenecid and colchicine helps to prevent gout attacks by removing extra uric acid from the body. The colchicine in probenecid and colchicine also helps to prevent gout attacks. Although colchicine may also be used to relieve an attack of gout, this requires more colchicine than this combination medicine contains. Probenecid and colchicine combination does not cure gout. Probenecid and colchicine will help prevent gout attacks only as long as you continue to take it.

Probenecid and colchicine combination is available only with your doctor's prescription.
