Abstract :Colchicine is produced from the essence of the lily plant that has been cured for many sicknesses such as familial Mediterranean fever, recurrent pericarditis, gout since it has anti-inflammatory properties. This anti-inflammatory drug’s acute intoxication has a high mortality rate and is a critical clinic to follow but not very common. The intoxication severity and mortality are directly depending on the ingested dose. However, although its treatment is principally symptomatic, if left untreated, it is a clinical effect that can be fatal depending on the dose taken directly. In our case, we aimed to present the patient hospitalized in the intensive care unit due to 30 tablets of colchicine intaken and finally was discharged in good health.
