In the article ‘An update on the management of gout’ (DTB 2018;56:9–12), the following statement is incorrect: ‘Prophylaxis should be considered when starting ULT, and based on the evidence from two recent systematic reviews, BSR recommends colchicine 500mg once or twice daily for up to 6 months.’

The sentence should read: ‘Prophylaxis should be considered when starting ULT, and based on the evidence from two recent systematic reviews, BSR recommends colchicine 0.5mg once or twice daily for up to 6 months.’
