Goutnil таблетки инструкция по медицинскому применению

Goutnil Tablet

FDA-approved to help prevent gout and to treat sudden severe attacks of gout. In gout, crystals of uric acid are deposited in certain joints. White blood cells migrate to the areas of the body where uric acid has been deposited. They attempt to engulf the crystals, and as a result, lactic acid and pro-inflammatory enzymes are released. These substances give rise to the characteristic pain and swelling of gout.Kolchin inhibits the migration of the white blood cells into the inflamged area, causing a reduction in pain and inflammation.

Goutnil reduces the pain resulting from gout and reduces flares of Familial Mediterranean fever by interfering with inflammatory pathways. This drug has a narrow therapeutic index.

How Goutnil works

The exact mechanism of action of colchicine has not been fully established, however likely occurs via the downstream inhibition of inflammation caused by tubulin disruption. Studies have implied that that colchicine causes disruption of the inflammasome complex that is present in both monocytes and neutrophils, which normally leads to the activation of interleukin-1, an important mediator of inflammation. In addition to the above actions, colchicine acts to interfere with pathways including neutrophil adhesion and recruitment, superoxide production, the RhoA/Rho effector kinase (ROCK) pathway, as well as a type of nuclear factor κΒ (NF-κΒ) pathway, reducing inflammation.

On a molecular level, colchicine can be described as an anti-mitotic drug, blocking the mitotic activity cells in the metaphase part of the cell cycle. Specifically, colchicine binds to tubulin, forming complexes that bind to microtubules. This stops their elongation. At low concentrations, colchicine stops microtubule growth and, at elevated concentrations, colchicine causes the depolymerization of microtubules.

Dosage

Goutnil dosage

Acute gouty arthritis: Articular pain and swelling typically reduced within 12 hours and are usually gone in 24 to 48 hours, an interval of three days between colchicine courses is advised in order to minimize the possibility of cumulative toxicity. The total amount of colchicine needed to control pain and inflammation during an attack usually ranges from 4 to 8 mg. First dose- 1 to 1.2 mg (two 0.6 mg tablets) at a time, then one (0.6 mg) tablet every 2 hours until pain and inflammation aborted.For prophylaxis during intercritical periods: Severe cases may require two or three 0.6 mg tablets daily. For cases involving more than one attack per year, the usual dose is 0.6 mg daily. In patients who have less than one attack per year, the usual dose is 0.6 mg per day, three or four days a week. To reduce the frequency of their severity, colchicine may be administered continuously.For prophylaxis against attacks of gout in patients undergoing surgery: In patients with gout, an attack may be precipitated by even a minor surgical procedure. one 0.6 mg tablet three times daily should be administered for three days before and three days after surgery.

Side Effects

Nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Excessive doses may cause profuse diarrhea.

Toxicity

The oral LD50 of colchicine in mice is 5.87 mg/kg.

Overdose information

Fatal overdoses have been reported in adults and children following the ingestion of colchicine. There are several stages involved in colchicine toxicity. The signs and symptoms generally occur within 24 hours of colchicine ingestion. Gastrointestinal disturbance, including abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and volume depletion. Elevated leucocyctes may also be detected during laboratory testing. Dangerous complications may occur during the second stage of a colchicine overdose, is generally during the time frame of 24 to 72 hours after ingestion. Multiorgan failure may occur and death is usually caused by respiratory depression in addition to cardiovascular collapse.

In the case of a colchicine overdose, gastric lavage and supportive measures to prevent shock should be undertaken. Treat symptoms related to the overdose. There is currently no antidote to a colchicine overdose. This drug should be kept out of the reach of children. Goutnil is not well removed by dialysis.

Precaution

Keep Kolchin out of the reach of children.

Interaction

Co-administration with clarithromycin or Cyclosporine have been demonstrated to alter the concentration of Kolchin.

Food Interaction

• Take with or without food. The absorption is unaffected by food.

[Major] GENERALLY AVOID: Coadministration with grapefruit juice may increase the serum concentrations of colchicine.

Clinical toxicity including myopathy, neuropathy, multiorgan failure, and pancytopenia may occur.

The proposed mechanism is inhibition of CYP450 3A4-mediated first-pass metabolism and P-glycoprotein efflux in the gut wall by certain compounds present in grapefruits.

A published case report describes an eight-year-old patient with familial Mediterranean fever who developed acute clinical colchicine intoxication after ingesting approximately one liter of grapefruit juice per day for two months prior to hospital admission while being treated with colchicine 2 mg

Her condition progressed to circulatory shock and multiorgan failure, but she recovered with supportive therapy after 24 days in the hospital.

In a study of 21 healthy volunteers, administration of 240 mL grapefruit juice twice a day for 4 days was found to have no significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of a single 0.6 mg dose of colchicine.

Volume of Distribution

According to the FDA label, the mean apparent volume of distribution in young and healthy patients is calculated to be about 5-8 L/kg. It is known to cross the placenta and to distribute into the breast milk. Goutnil has been found to distribute to various tissues but mainly into the bile, liver, and kidney tissues. Smaller amounts have been detected in the heart, lungs, intestinal tissue, and stomach.

Elimination Route

Goutnil is rapidly absorbed after oral administration from the gastrointestinal tract. During a pharmacokinetic study, a mean Cmax of 2.5 ng/mL was achieved within 1-2 h (range 0.5 to three hours) after an orally administered dose of colchicine. The bioavailability of colchicine is about 45%, according to the FDA label, however, another reference indicates that the bioavailability is highly variable, ranging from 24 to 88%. In a multiple-dose study of colchicine administration at a dose of 1 mg per day, steady-state concentrations were achieved by 8 days following administration.

Half Life

After several doses of 0.6 mg twice daily, the average elimination half-life of colchicine ranges from 26.6 to 31.2 hours. Another reference measures that the elimination half-life ranges from 20 to 40 hours.

Clearance

The FDA label reports a clearance of and 0.0292 ± 0.0071 to 0.0321 ± 0.0091 mL/min after a single oral dose of one 0.6 mg of colchicine. Patients with end-stage renal impairment showed a 75% lower clearance of colchicine. In a pharmacokinetic study of patients with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF), the apparent mean clearance was calculated at 0.726 ± 0.110 L/h/kg.

Elimination Route

In a pharmacokinetic study of healthy research subjects(n=12), 40% to 65% of a 1 mg oral colchicine dose was measured as unchanged drug in the urine. Both enterohepatic recirculation and biliary excretion are routes which are involved with the excretion of colchicine.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use

There are no adequate studies of Kolchin in pregnant women.

Nursing mothers: Kolchin is excreted into human milk and may cause adverse effects in the infant.

Contraindication

Patients with renal or hepatic impairment should not be given Goutnil in conjunction with Permeability glycoprotein (P-gp) or strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., clarithromycin or cyclosporine).

Special Warning

Pediatric Use: The safety and efficacy of colchicine in children of all ages with FMF has been evaluated in uncontrolled studies. There does not appear to be an adverse effect on growth in children with FMF treated long-term with colchicine. Gout is rare in pediatric patients, safety and effectiveness of colchicine in pediatric patients has not been established.

Geriatric Use: Clinical studies with colchicine for treatment of gout flares and for treatment of FMF did not include sufficient numbers of patients aged 65 years and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients.

Acute Overdose

Symptoms: Nausea, anorexia, abdominal pain, vomiting, paralytic ileus, diarrhoea; stomatitis, arthralgia, malaise, hypocalcaemia, fever, rashes; renal damage; hepatomegaly and liver tenderness; extreme vascular damage; leucopenia followed by leukocytosis; bone marrow depression, thrombocytopenia, granulocytopenia, immature leucocytes, pancytopenia, anaemia with anisocytosis, polychromasia, basophilic stippling; muscular weakness; CNS paralysis; mental confusion, delirium, seizures; loss of deep tendon and Achilles tendon reflexes, Babinski’s reflex may be elicited; resp depression or CV collapse may result to death.

Management: Symptomatic and supportive treatment. Perform gastric lavage to prevent shock. Maintain circulation, correct fluid and electrolyte imbalance. Consider activated charcoal in patients who ingested more than 0.1 mg/kg w/in 1 hr of presentation. May administer morphine sulfate 10 mg IM to relieve severe abdominal cramps.
