Colgout is a brand of colchicine, commonly sold in Australia and New Zealand. Just like Colcrys in the United States, everything we discuss about colchicine also applies to Colgout.
Colgout Overview
There maybe minor differences in dosage between generic colchicine, Colgout, and other branded preparations. However, these are not significant, so the overall advice is:

As-Required Colgout
When taken as required to combat a gout flare, one tablet to be taken as soon as possible, with a second tablet after one hour if needed.
If gout pain continues after two Colgout, supplement with anti-inflammatories and other analgesics as advised by your doctor or pharmacist.
