Colchicine is an anti-gout drug.

• A. Hypertension
• B. Gout
• C. Asthma
• D. Migraine

Answer: (B)

Colchicine treats gout by dampening the inflammatory response to urate crystals. It binds to tubulin and prevents microtubule formation, which hinders neutrophil movement to the crystal deposits and reduces the release of inflammatory mediators. That makes it effective for acute gout attacks and for preventing future flares when starting urate-lowering therapy. Hypertension, asthma, and migraine are not indications for colchicine; they are managed with other, condition-specific therapies.
