Brief Answer:
Both medicines are safe together

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case and discuss with my other colleagues also. These two drugs are safe together. Colchicine is given for acute GOUT, so as soon as your pain will subside you should stop it. There is only chance of swelling in the leg, when both are taken for long time. No other serious side effects is noted.
I hope this answer will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other query.
Thanks
