About Diaserivac Capsule 10's

Diaserivac Capsule 10's belongs to a class of medications called anthraquinones, used to treat pain, stiffness, and swelling in joints caused by osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering of cartilage.

Diaserivac Capsule 10's contains Diacerein, which works by inhibiting the action of a protein involved in the inflammation and destruction of cartilage. It thereby helps build and repair cartilage (the soft connective tissue that protects and covers the ends of long bones at joints) and reduces pain and swelling in the joints.
