FMF prophylaxis

FMF (Familial Mediterranean Fever) prophylaxis involves daily medication, usually colchicine, to prevent attacks and reduce complication risks like inflammation turning into more serious conditions. Colchicine works by calming the immune system's overreaction, decreasing flare-ups, and preventing organ damage. Patients typically start this treatment even if they haven’t had attacks yet, especially if they have recurring symptoms or risk factors. While effective, the medication needs regular monitoring for side effects. Overall, FMF prophylaxis aims to improve quality of life by minimizing attacks and preventing long-term complications.
