Which companies make colchicine?
Colchicine is an established generic drug, so it is made by multiple manufacturers rather than a single company. The specific manufacturer can vary by country and by the exact product strength and dosage form (tablet, capsule, etc.).
How do I find the colchicine manufacturer for my prescription or bottle?
To identify the manufacturer for your exact colchicine product, check the following on the packaging or label:
- The “Manufacturer” or “Distributed by” line
- The “NDC” (National Drug Code) number (in the U.S.)
- The drug’s strength and dosage form (for example, 0.6 mg tablet)
With the NDC, you can often look up the specific product listing and manufacturer.
Is there a branded colchicine product with a specific maker?
Colchicine is commonly supplied as generic products, but branded products have historically existed depending on the market and country. If you share your country (and the strength/form on your label), the most accurate answer is the manufacturer listed for that specific product.
