About COLLAGEN+SODIUM HYALURONATE+CHONDROITIN SULFATE+ASCORBIC ACID
COLLAGEN+SODIUM HYALURONATE+CHONDROITIN SULFATE+ASCORBIC ACID belongs to a group of medicines called 'nutritional supplements' used to treat joint problems. COLLAGEN+SODIUM HYALURONATE+CHONDROITIN SULFATE+ASCORBIC ACID is recommended for the maintenance of joints, muscles, cartilage, the integrity of joints, bone health, joint pain, arthritic pain, stiffness, low back pain, tendonitis or tendinopathy (tendon pain). Joint pain refers to the discomfort, pain, stiffness and soreness in the joints.
COLLAGEN+SODIUM HYALURONATE+CHONDROITIN SULFATE+ASCORBIC ACID contains Collagen, Sodium hyaluronate, Chondroitin sulphate, and Ascorbic acid. Collagen helps regenerate cartilage, thereby providing strength to the bones and improving joints' flexibility. Sodium hyaluronate is similar to the joints' fluid; this acts as a lubricant in the joints and prevents friction between the joints. Chondroitin sulphate prevents the breakdown of collagen tissue of the joints. Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) acts as an antioxidant that helps the synthesis of new collagen fibres, new blood vessel formation and promotes healing at the joint site. Together, COLLAGEN+SODIUM HYALURONATE+CHONDROITIN SULFATE+ASCORBIC ACID relieve pain and stiffness in the joints.
You are advised to take COLLAGEN+SODIUM HYALURONATE+CHONDROITIN SULFATE+ASCORBIC ACID for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as heartburn, stomach pain, headache, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. COLLAGEN+SODIUM HYALURONATE+CHONDROITIN SULFATE+ASCORBIC ACID is not recommended for children as safety and effectiveness have not been established. It is unknown if COLLAGEN+SODIUM HYALURONATE+CHONDROITIN SULFATE+ASCORBIC ACID alters your driving ability; however, drive or operate machinery only if you are alert. Consult your doctor before consuming alcohol along with COLLAGEN+SODIUM HYALURONATE+CHONDROITIN SULFATE+ASCORBIC ACID. Do not take any other medicines for pain relief along with COLLAGEN+SODIUM HYALURONATE+CHONDROITIN SULFATE+ASCORBIC ACID unless prescribed. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side-effects.
Uses of COLLAGEN+SODIUM HYALURONATE+CHONDROITIN SULFATE+ASCORBIC ACID
Joint pain, Tendonitis (inflammation of tissue connecting bone to muscle)
Medicinal Benefits
COLLAGEN+SODIUM HYALURONATE+CHONDROITIN SULFATE+ASCORBIC ACID is a combination of four drugs, namely: Collagen, Sodium hyaluronate, Chondroitin sulphate, and Ascorbic acid. COLLAGEN+SODIUM HYALURONATE+CHONDROITIN SULFATE+ASCORBIC ACID belongs to a group of medicines called nutritional supplements used to treat joint pain. COLLAGEN+SODIUM HYALURONATE+CHONDROITIN SULFATE+ASCORBIC ACID is recommended for the maintenance of joints, muscles, cartilage, the integrity of joints, bone health, joint pain, arthritic pain, stiffness, low back pain, osteoarthritis, tendonitis or tendinopathy (tendon pain). Collagen helps in the synthesis of new tendon fibre extracellular tissue that maintains the health of tendons. Sodium hyaluronate helps in cross-linking of the collagen fibres within themselves, and with chondroitin sulphate, this helps in offering maximum tensile strength. It also lowers the adhesion between the tendon sheaths, thereby promoting the gliding of tendons freely over the bones while healing. Chondroitin sulphate helps in reinforcing the collagen-chondroitin association cross-links and prevents the breakdown of collagen. Ascorbic acid helps in synthesising new collagen fibres, new blood vessel formation and promotes healing. Together, COLLAGEN+SODIUM HYALURONATE+CHONDROITIN SULFATE+ASCORBIC ACID helps in providing relief from pain and stiffness in the joints.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Joint pain: Joint pain is a physical discomfort that occurs where two or more bones meet. It refers to the discomfort, pain, stiffness and soreness in the joints. Arthritis is a common cause of joint pain. Other reasons include a past injury such as torn cartilage, dislocated joints and ligament injuries. Joint pain occurs when 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 include pain, stiffness, inflammation and tenderness.
