Brief Answer:
there is no drug interaction, can be used

Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Colchrys (colchicine) was once the preferred treatment for an acute gout attack but now NSAIDS such as meloxicam are preferred as initial treatment.

The colchrys can be used , there are no known interactions between these medications.

Colchrys works best if started within 36 hours of an acute flare up

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
