Eraflex Tablet 10's

Eraflex Tablet 10's belongs to a class of medications called 'proteoglycan synthesis stimulator', primarily taken to reduce the pain of osteoarthritis (OA) in specific large and small joints. Osteoarthritis is a chronic (lifelong) joint condition in which Glucosamine sulfate and Chondroitin (natural chemicals found in healthy cartilage) get reduced. The body uses this fluid to produce other chemicals required to make ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and the thick fluid surrounding joints. When this chemical gets reduced, the cartilage breaks down and becomes thin, which causes friction between the bones leading to wear and tear (damage) of the joint tissues leading to pain, stiffness, inflammation, and reduced locomotion. 

The Eraflex Tablet 10's comprises two medicines, namely Glucosamine and Chondroitin sulfate. Glucosamine sulfate is a natural protein found in the body used by the body to produce various chemicals responsible for building ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and the thick fluid surrounding joints. Taking Eraflex Tablet 10's may either enhance the cartilage and fluid surrounding joints or prevent both components' breakdown. At the same time, Chondroitin restricts the action of a protein responsible for causing inflammation and destruction of cartilage or osteoarthritis. It also provides elasticity by helping cartilage to retain water. Both, in combination, assist in the formation of cartilage (the soft tissue that cushions the joints) and make the joints lubricated for better movement and flexibility. Eraflex Tablet 10's relieves pain, thereby improving joint function and helping individuals restore their quality of life. It also increases the cushioning and lubrication of joints that, provide relief in pain and easily do physical activity.

Eraflex Tablet 10's has anti-inflammatory (reduces pain and inflammation) properties and slow deterioration of cartilage (joints)  and pain, swelling, and other symptoms associated with osteoarthritis. This combined medicine also has cartilage-protecting effects and helps to maintain cartilage structure. The Eraflex Tablet 10's compromises two medicines, namely Glucosamine and Chondroitin sulfate. Glucosamine sulfate is a natural protein found in the body used by the body to produce various chemicals responsible for building ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and the thick fluid surrounding joints. Taking Eraflex Tablet 10's may either enhance the cartilage and fluid surrounding joints or prevent both components' breakdown.

Use caution in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Do not self-administer Eraflex Tablet 10's if you are pregnant or are nursing. Although Eraflex Tablet 10's provides symptomatic relief in conditions like arthritis and may reduce the inflammation caused by these conditions, it is strongly recommended to remain physically active as much as your condition allows to achieve the best results. Adopting a healthy lifestyle and a diet containing high proteins is the mainstay for managing arthritic conditions.

• Maintain a healthy body weight because obesity can lead to joint pain. Please avoid strenuous exercise as it may aggravate your arthritis-related joint pain. Instead, you can stretch and engage in low-impact aerobic activities such as treadmill walking, biking, and swimming. Lifting light weights can also help to improve your muscle strength.
• Increase your intake of glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate, vitamin D, and calcium-rich supplements. Aside from that, turmeric and fish oils can help to reduce tissue inflammation.
• Include fish such as salmon, trout, tuna, and sardines in your diet if you have arthritis or joint pain. These fish are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which aid in the reduction of inflammation (redness and swelling) and protect the heart.
• Your sitting posture is critical, especially if you suffer from pain or inflammation. Try to sit as little as possible and only for a short period of time (10-15 min). Place a rolled-up towel at the back of your curve to alleviate pain. In addition, if necessary, a footrest can be used.
• Follow heat or cold therapy by applying a cold or hot compress to the joints on a regular basis for 15-20 minutes.
• Relax by meditating, reading, taking a nice bubble bath, or listening to calming music.
• Avoid drinking alcohol and quit smoking.

Pain: Pain is an unpleasant sensation and emotional experience that is associated with tissue damage. It allows the body to react and prevent further tissue damage. Pain can be short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic). Pain perception can differ from person to person, from tolerable to non-tolerable.

Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is a chronic (lifelong) joint condition in which the Glucosamine sulfate (a chemical found in the human body, especially in joints) gets reduced. The body uses this fluid to produce other chemicals required to make ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and the thick fluid surrounding joints. When this chemical gets reduced, the cartilage breaks down and becomes thin, which causes friction between the bones leading to wear and tear (damage) of the joint tissues leading to pain, stiffness, inflammation, and reduced locomotion. It causes the bone to rub together, leading to pain, stiffness, and other osteoarthritis symptoms. This disease can occur in any joint, but commonly affected areas of the body are hands, fingertips, knees, hips, and spine, typically at the neck or lower back. The most common osteoarthritis symptoms include pain, tenderness (discomfort when pressing on the area with fingers), stiffness, and inflammation.
