May signal rhabdomyolysis risk with colchicine-fluvastatin in renal failure; hypothesis-generating and requires confirmation.
Sarullo et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Rhabdomyolysis (n=1). Fluvastatin and colchicine co-administration was evaluated on Development and resolution of rhabdomyolysis. Co-administration of colchicine and fluvastatin in a patient with chronic renal failure induced severe rhabdomyolysis that resolved after discontinuing the medications.
