Starting with ibuprofen 3 time a day for 1 week before deciding whether to add colchicine. Is NSAID itself enough?

Post Body

A followup to the previous post.

Got the pericarditis diagnosis the other night- er gave me a strong NSAID script that I wasn't comfortable taking so went to my primary doctor-

We went through treatment options and basically figured we can try one week on ibuprofen and depending on if it works or not can decide in a week whether to add colchicine or not.

Figured it may be worth asking though- can NSAID itself be enough or is colchicine a must?

Personally the side effects of these drugs worry me especially as someone already either acid reflux/gi issues.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks
