כולכיציו, כולפיצין- names of medications

English translation: Colchicine קולכיצין

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Hebrew term or phrase:קולכיצין

Medical - Medical (general) / names of medications
Hebrew term or phrase: כולכיציו, כולפיצין- names of medications
Although this is a fuzzy fax, in one place it seems to clearly be written "and 0.5MG כולכיציו twice daily was added." A couple of lines later it says:
"and כולפיצין for 7 months." Doing a Google search I saw one incidence of כולכיציו and nothing at all about כולפיצין
Any ideas what these might be in English? Thanks!

Colchicine


Explanation:
כולכיציו is most probably Colchicine, and כולפיצין might be the same.
I am unaware of any drugs that resembles כולפיצין.
