In episode 494, Mike and James invite Ricky Turgeon to talk about a potential new use for an old drug – colchicine. Ricky explains all the evidence we have for low-dose colchicine in people with a history of cardiovascular disease. We find out that colchicine reduces the risk of a cardiovascular event in a similar magnitude to statins – but will they be used as much as statins.? Find out what we think.
