METHYLSULFONYLMETHANE belongs to a class of medications called nutritional supplements used to reduce pain, stiffness, and swelling in joints caused by 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. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness.
METHYLSULFONYLMETHANE contains Methylsulfonylmethane which plays a key role in making glucosamine and collagen which are essential for healthy joints and bones and in immunoglobulins production that helps the immune system.
Take METHYLSULFONYLMETHANE as advised by your doctor. In some cases, you may experience diarrhea, nausea, bloating, insomnia, headache, tiredness, or itching. Most of these side effects of METHYLSULFONYLMETHANE do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
If you are allergic to METHYLSULFONYLMETHANE or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before taking METHYLSULFONYLMETHANE. Do not give METHYLSULFONYLMETHANE to children without doctor’s advice. Drive only if you are alert after taking METHYLSULFONYLMETHANE. If you are about to undergo any surgery or dental procedure, inform your doctor that you are taking METHYLSULFONYLMETHANE. You are recommended not to take more than the dose directed on the label as it may cause a METHYLSULFONYLMETHANE overdose and lead to adverse effects.

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