About GLUCOSAMINE+CHONDROITIN+CURCUMIN+METHYL SULFONYL METHANE

GLUCOSAMINE+CHONDROITIN+CURCUMIN+METHYL SULFONYL METHANE is a combination medicine used to treat osteoarthritis, inflammatory joint disorders, and muscle damage caused by exercise.

    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 called 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, inflammation, stiffness, 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 a past injury such as torn cartilage, dislocated joints and ligament injuries.
