Allopurinol = anemia and skin (we use purell on skin for purinol) - Prevents uric acid production through inhibition of enzyme - Significant adverse effects: ANEMIA, FATAL SKIN CONDITIONS Colchicine = grab a COAT in the COLd or you'll get an INFLAMED joint - Reduces inflammatory response to deposits of urate crystals in joint tissue - Monitor renal, hepatic and cardiac function and bleeding - AEs: toxic to KIDNEYS and LIVER
