About WELJOINT TABLET

WELJOINT TABLET is used to reduce the pain of osteoarthritis (OA) in specific large and small joints. Osteoarthritis is a chronic (lifelong) joint condition in which glucosamine sulfate (a chemical found in the human body, especially in joints) is reduced. The body uses this fluid to produce other chemicals required to make ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and the thick fluid surrounding joints. When this chemical gets reduced, then the cartilage breaks down and becomes thin, which causes friction between the bones, leading to wear and tear (damage) of the joint tissues, leading to pain, stiffness, inflammation, and reduced locomotion. 

The WELJOINT TABLET compromises two medicines, namely Diacerein and Glucosamine. Diacerein restricts the action of a protein responsible for causing inflammation and destruction of cartilage or osteoarthritis. At the same time, Glucosamine sulfate is a natural protein found in the body used by the body to produce various chemicals responsible for building ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and the thick fluid surrounding joints. Taking WELJOINT TABLET may either enhance the cartilage and fluid surrounding joints or prevent both components' breakdown. In combination, both help form cartilage (the soft tissue that cushions the joints) and make the joints lubricated for better movement and flexibility. WELJOINT TABLET relieves pain, thereby improving joint function and helping individuals restore their quality of life. It also increases the cushioning and lubrication of joints, which provides relief in pain and makes it easy to do physical activity. 

Take WELJOINT TABLET as prescribed by your doctor. You are suggested to take WELJOINT TABLET as long as your doctor has prescribed it after checking your medical condition. 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 and resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these undesirable effects persistently.

WELJOINT TABLET is not allowed to be used in children younger than 18. Consult your doctor if you have ever had blood clots or circulation problems in your legs or if you are pregnant or planning to be pregnant, as this may harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding as It may not be safe to breastfeed a baby while taking WELJOINT TABLET. People with joint infection or skin disease in the affected area should consult a doctor before taking WELJOINT TABLET. People dealing with impaired glucose tolerance, kidney or liver dysfunction risk factors for heart (cardiovascular) disease, and who have asthma should take WELJOINT TABLET with caution.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Include more glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, vitamin D, and calcium-enriched supplements. Besides this, turmeric and fish oils can help reduce inflammation in the tissue.

  • Please do not go for heavy exercise as it may increase your joint pain in arthritis. Instead, you can do stretching and low-impact aerobic exercises like walking on a treadmill, bike riding, and swimming. You can also strengthen your muscle strength by lifting light weights.

  • Including fish like salmon, trout, tuna, and sardines in your daily diet. These fishes are enriched with omega-3 fatty acids with a minimum level of chemicals called cytokines, which ramp up inflammation.

  • Your sitting posture is important, especially when you have pain and inflammation condition. Try to sit as little as possible and only for a short time (10-15 min). Use back support like a rolled-up towel to minimise pain at the back of your curve. Keep your knees and hips at a right angle. Besides this, you can use a footrest if required.
