Abstract

A short cut review was carried out looking for evidence of the benefits of using colchicine as a single therapy for acute pericarditis. A literature search was performed but no papers were found to provide evidence of the efficacy of colchicine without the concurrent use of Non-steriodal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for this condition.
