A relatively low dose of colchicine may be fatal. After a colchicine overdose, monitoring should include 6{\textendash}12 hourly serum troponin measurements. A rising troponin level predicts cardiovascular collapse and is an indication for more intensive management.}, issn = {1472-0205}, URL = {https://emj.bmj.com/content/22/8/599}, eprint = {https://emj.bmj.com/content/22/8/599.full.pdf}, journal = {Emergency Medicine Journal} }
