Avion Pharmaceuticals announced the launch of Gloperba (colchicine) oral solution for prophylaxis of gout flares in adults.

The approval was based on evidence from published literature supporting the efficacy of colchicine in patients with chronic gout. In 2 randomized clinical trials, treatment with colchicine 0.6mg twice daily was associated with a decrease in the frequency of gout flares.
The safety and efficacy of Gloperba for acute treatment of gout flares during prophylaxis has not been studied. It should not be used to treat pain from other causes.
