B
Colchicine can cause rhabdomyolysis, and this risk is increased in patients who also take sim-vastatin or other statin drugs. Amoxicillin does not interact with colchicine. The side effects of digoxin are not increased by concurrent use with colchicine. NSAIDs can safely be taken with colchicine.
