In the context of COVID-19, reduction of D-dimer has been observed after treatment with colchicine, but not other inflammatory markers. The use of colchicine in short periods is generally safe, except for the incidence of diarrhoea which appears to be related to the use of a loading dose or higher than 1 mg/day.

The impact of treatment on patients with milder forms of the disease not ...
