it happens, when a pharmacy assistant in a certain drugstore accidentally gave a wrong medicine for a pregnant woman, instead a medicine for cough the one that was given was Colchicine and without reading on the label of the medicine she bought she accidentally took it and after that she feel a sudden pain on her stomach. Do you think it is because of the colchicine she took?

Call your doctor or the doctor on call ASAP!!! Also, call the pharmacy and make sure they know of the mix up!

Pregnancy Category C. Colchicine has been shown to be teratogenic in mice when given doses of 1.25 and 1.5 mg/kg and in hamsters when given 10 mg/kg. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Colchicine should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
