Since the 1970s, [[colchicine]], a drug otherwise mainly used in [[gout]], has been shown to decrease attack frequency in FMF patients. The exact way in which colchicine suppresses attacks is unclear. While this agent is not without side-effects (such as [[abdominal pain]] and [[myalgia|muscle pains]]), it may markedly improve quality of life in patients. The dosage is typically 1-2 mg a day. Development of amyloidosis is delayed with colchicine treatment. [[Interferon]] is being studied as a therapeutic modality.<ref name=Livneh>Livneh A, Langevitz P.

Overview

Clinical practice guidelines direct treatment[1]:

03. "Treatment with colchicine should start as soon as a clinical diagnosis is made"

17. "In protracted febrile myalgia, glucocorticoids lead to the resolution of symptoms; NSAID and IL-1-blockade might also be a treatment option; NSAIDs are suggested for the treatment of exertional leg pain"

IL-1-blockade with anakinra

A systematic review of IL-1 blockade with anakinra, canakinumab, and rilonacept found only one randomized controlled trial.[2]
