Question 10424 — pharmacy and medications

Summary

Mr. Pascal Jenft alerts the Minister of Health, Families, Autonomy and Disabled People about the shortage of Colchicine in our territory. This medication, derived from the colchicum plant, is used to treat gout attacks. However, following a problem in the production chain, Colchicine is out of stock in our territory for an indefinite period. Although an Italian alternative is available, it is in very limited quantity. Without Colchicine or alternatives, citizens suffering from gout will be forced to endure particularly painful attacks, leading to debilitating suffering and blocked joints. Although present in Asia Minor, the colchicum plant also grows in Europe. This seriously questions the reasons for the interruption in production. It is why he asks her to specify exactly where the failure lies in the production of Colchicine, and what measures she intends to put in place to restore production and provide treatment for French people suffering from gout.
