Over de past years use off-label of colchicine has notably increased, mainly as a result of the latest studies published about its efficacy in the prevention of recurrence after acute or recurrent pericarditis and pericarditis after cardiac surgery. Nevertheless, colchicine use has been associated with serious drug interactions and toxicity with high morbimortality. Taking into account the recent results about the efficacy of colchicine in pericarditis management, we envisage an increase in the use of this drug by clinicians. In this review we analyse the risks and current recommendations for a safety use of this ancient drug. Copyright © 2012 Elsevier España, S.L. All rights reserved.
