About CHONDROITIN+DIACEREIN+GLUCOSAMINE

CHONDROITIN+DIACEREIN+GLUCOSAMINE belongs to the class of 'nutritional supplements', primarily used to treat inflammation and pain in 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 (the connective tissue that cushions the joints). Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness.

CHONDROITIN+DIACEREIN+GLUCOSAMINE consists of three supplements: Chondroitin, Diacerein, and Glucosamine. Glucosamine and Chondroitin are the building blocks of cartilage. These two components protect chondrocytes, the cells that help maintain cartilage structure. They provide long-lasting pain relief and slow down the degeneration changes of joints. They further maintain the elasticity and strength of the joints. Diacerein (diacerhein or diacetylrhein) is an anthraquinone derivative that reduces inflammation and cartilage destruction. It is also used to correct the altered osteoblast (cells that build bone) activity.

Your doctor will decide the dosage and duration based on your medical condition. CHONDROITIN+DIACEREIN+GLUCOSAMINE is likely safe to consume. It may cause side effects like diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, constipation, heartburn, stomach pain, and upset. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Please inform your doctor if you are known to be allergic to CHONDROITIN+DIACEREIN+GLUCOSAMINE or its inactive components. Brief your medical history to the doctor if you have any heart/kidney/liver diseases, asthma, prostate cancer, diabetes, glaucoma, bleeding disorders, shellfish allergy, cancer, high cholesterol levels, and high blood pressure before starting CHONDROITIN+DIACEREIN+GLUCOSAMINE. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking CHONDROITIN+DIACEREIN+GLUCOSAMINE. It is unknown how alcohol consumption affects the working of this medicine; hence, please consult a doctor. Diacerein and Glucosamine are not recommended for children; however, it is advised to seek medical advice.

    Patients Concern

    Disease/Condition Glossary

    Osteoarthritis: It 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. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms of osteoarthritis include pain, stiffness, inflammation, and tenderness. The main reason for osteoarthritis is age; the older you are, the more likely you could get osteoarthritis, thus known as degenerative disease, meaning that the joints wear out as a person ages. Other reasons include past injuries, such as torn cartilage, dislocated joints, and ligament injuries.
