Abstract
This report describes the effectiveness of oral colchicine and indomethacin in the maintenance phase of treatment of relapsing polychondritis. Systemic corticosteroids are commonly used in the induction phase of managing cases of relapsing polychondritis. Clinicians are then faced with the challenge of controlling the patient's symptoms while trying to decrease the dose of steroid.
