Summary

This study tests whether a low-dose anti-inflammatory drug called colchicine can safely reduce inflammation in 30 adults who cannot take statins due to side effects. Participants will take colchicine for four weeks, and researchers will monitor side effects and measure changes in blood markers of inflammation. The goal is to see if colchicine can lower heart risks in this group.
