Optanol OD 600mg Tablet SR belongs to the class of other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and antirheumatic products used to treat osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a common type of arthritis in which the cartilage that cushions the bone's ends erodes due to wear and tear over time. Common symptoms are joint pain and stiffness. The risk of osteoarthritis increases with increasing age.
