ABSTRACT
Several randomized clinical trials have demonstrated the clinical utility of colchicine in the prevention and management of various cardiovascular conditions, including secondary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, acute and chronic pericarditis, and atrial fibrillation. As a result, it is reasonable to anticipate increased use of colchicine within the cardiovascular specialty. However, colchicine is metabolized by cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) and a substrate of the efflux transporter, P-glycoprotein (P-gp), creating the potential for clinically significant drug-drug interactions (DDIs). Therefore, when colchicine is administered concomitantly with other cardiovascular agents that inhibit CYP3A4 or P-gp, there is an increased risk of significant DDIs, potentially leading to negative sequelae. This article summarizes the evidence supporting the use of colchicine for cardiovascular disease, describes the mechanisms behind DDIs with select cardiovascular medications, and provides suggestions regarding colchicine dosing and management of DDIs to minimize the risk of poor tolerability and colchicine toxicity.
