Pseudogout is a form of arthritis that causes pain, redness, and inflammation in one or more joints.
Pseudogout is a form of arthritis characterized by sudden, painful swelling in one or more of your joints. These episodes can last for days or weeks. Pseudogout typically occurs in older adults and most commonly affects your knee. Pseudogout is named for its similarity to gout. Like gout, pseudogout causes sudden, severe pain in a joint, triggered by crystals in the joint lining. But unlike gout, which usually affects your big toe joint, pseudogout usually affects the large joints of your extremities. And pseudogout is caused by a different type of crystal. It isn't clear why crystals form in your joints and cause pseudogout. Although you can't get rid of the crystals, there are treatments to help you relieve the pain and reduce the inflammation of pseudogout.

Colchicine is a drug used in the treatment of acute gouty arthritis. Colchicine is effective in suppressing the inflammation in acute gouty arthritis.
Pseudogout typically affects the large joints, such as the knees, wrists, and ankles. In general, it occurs with equal frequency in men and women.
Pseudogout is also known by another name: calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate deposition disease (CPPD), the basis of which is derived from the calcium deposits that collect in the joint.
My go gave me panaco during my gout attack. Along with colchicine and prednosolone.
Using a needle, the physician can take a sample of the synovial fluid from the swollen or painful joint to ascertain the presence of calcium pyrophosphate crystals.
Colchicine will stop mitosis at the metaphase stage. Colchicine disrupts the formation of the mitotic spindle fibers, which are critical for separating the replicated chromosomes during mitosis. As a result, cells treated with colchicine will not be able to progress past the metaphase stage of mitosis.

No, colchicine is not an antibiotic. It is a medication primarily used to treat gout and familial Mediterranean fever by reducing inflammation. Colchicine works by inhibiting the migration of white blood cells to inflamed areas, but it does not have antibacterial properties like antibiotics do.
Cells are arrested with colchicine during metaphase of mitosis in order to prevent the separation of sister chromatids. By preventing the spindle fibers from attaching to the kinetochores of the chromosomes, colchicine halts cells at metaphase, allowing for the visualization and counting of chromosomes during karyotyping.
