Orthofree 500mg/400mg Tablet is primarily taken to reduce the pain of osteoarthritis (OA) in specific large and small joints. Osteoarthritis is a joint condition in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage. It causes friction between the bones, leading to wear and tear (damage) of the joint tissues.

Orthofree 500mg/400mg Tablet contains Glucosamine and Chondroitin sulfate. Glucosamine is used by the body to produce various chemicals responsible for building ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and the thick fluid surrounding joints. Chondroitin inhibits the action of a protein responsible for causing inflammation and cartilage destruction, commonly associated with osteoarthritis.

Sometimes, you may experience certain common side effects, such as headache, tiredness, nausea, abdominal pain, indigestion, diarrhoea, constipation, and wind. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention. However, talk to your doctor if you experience these undesirable effects persistently.
