Colchicine toxicity can present with a range of symptoms that progress through several stages. Initially, patients may experience gastrointestinal distress, including nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. As toxicity advances, patients might exhibit symptoms such as fever, leukocytosis, and multiorgan failure. In severe cases, colchicine poisoning can lead to respiratory distress, cardiovascular collapse, and even death.
