Re: Pericarditis Query

Colchicine is effective for pericarditis --it is a drug used for centuries, but a few decades ago they judged it as a drug so old it had not passed the safe & effective standards of the times, so, no-one wanted to pay for such studies and now, as I understand it, only 2 companies make it and it is rarely covered by insurance in US.
