GETON TABLET contains Colchicine which belongs to a group of medicines called Antigout agents. GETON TABLET is used in adults, in the short-term management of gout attacks and to manage gout recurrence. It is also indicated in familial mediterranean fever (FMF) to manage fever attacks and amyloidosis (a rare protein disorder that interferes with normal functioning of organs). Gout is a common and complex form of arthritis (joint pain) which is characterized by sudden, severe attacks of pain, swelling, redness and tenderness in one or more joints which most often occurs in the big toe.

It also works by managing the occurrence of pain in the abdomen, chest or joints in patients suffering from familial mediterranean fever by decreasing the production of amyloid protein which is an abnormal protein that forms due to a rare protein disease called amyloidosis which causes interference in the normal functioning of an organ.
