Upgrading & Maximizing the Classics (Colchicine, Allopurinol, etc.)

Upgrading & Maximizing the Classics (Colchicine, Allopurinol, etc.) examines how to optimize the use of time-tested gout therapies in today's increasingly complex patients. Through practical case discussions, our expert faculty will address colchicine safety and dosing in chronic kidney disease, selecting first-line therapy for acute flares, initiating and titrating urate-lowering therapy, improving treatment adherence, and navigating challenging scenarios such as gout management in patients with CKD and cardiovascular disease.
