Colchicine should be given with great care to elderly and debilitated patients as there is a greater risk of cumulative toxicity.
Care should also be exercised in those with cardiac, hepatic, gastrointestinal disease or if patients are breast-feeding.
Colchicine should be avoided in patients with blood disorders.
It should also generally be avoided in pregnancy since it is known to be teratogenic in animals.
