About Glucosa C 500mg/400mg Tablet

Glucosa C 500mg/400mg Tablet is a combination medicine primarily used to treat osteoarthritis and its associated symptoms. 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. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, inflammation, and reduced locomotion. Glucosa C 500mg/400mg Tablet relieves pain, thereby improving joint function and restoring quality of life. It also increases the cushioning and lubrication of joints.

Glucosa C 500mg/400mg Tablet contains Glucosamine and Chondroitin. Glucosamine is used by the body to produce various chemicals responsible for building ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and the thick fluid surrounding joints. Chondroitin restricts the action of a protein responsible for causing inflammation and destruction of cartilage in osteoarthritis. It also provides elasticity. Both in combination help in the formation of cartilage (the soft tissue that cushions the joints) and make the joints lubricated for better movement and flexibility.
