Gout, Colchicine is preferred if taking ACE inhibitors e.g. Enalapril or other blood pressure medication, NOTE, Thiazide diuretics are mainly prescribed at a low dose to help with high blood pressure. Commonly prescribed thiazides include bendroflumethiazide ……… Thiazide diuretics can interfere with colchicine effectiveness.Taking thiazide diuretics can cause a build-up of uric acid in the bloodstream that can then go into the joints (usually the foot) and trigger gout.
