Colchicine Alone / With Clarithromycin
\[All subjects received each of the study treatments.\] Each subject received one colchicine 0.6 mg tablet on Day 1 at 9:00 a.m. after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours, followed by a 21 day washout period. On Day 22, subjects began taking one 250 mg clarithromycin tablet every 12 hours at 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. for 7 days without regard to meals. Then, on Day 29, each subject received one colchicine 0.6 mg tablet along with final dose of 250 mg clarithromycin at 9:00 a.m. after an overnight fast of at least 10 hours.
