Chondroitin+diacerein+glucosamine
About Chondroitin+diacerein+glucosamine
Chondroitin+diacerein+glucosamine belongs to the class of 'nutritional supplements', primarily used to treat inflammation and pain in 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 (the connective tissue that cushions the joints). Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness.
Chondroitin+diacerein+glucosamine consists of three supplements: Chondroitin, Diacerein, and Glucosamine. Glucosamine and Chondroitin are the building blocks of cartilage. These two components protect chondrocytes, the cells that help maintain cartilage structure. They provide long-lasting pain relief and slow down the degeneration changes of joints. They further maintain the elasticity and strength of the joints. Diacerein (diacerhein or diacetylrhein) is an anthraquinone derivative that reduces inflammation and cartilage destruction. It is also used to correct the altered osteoblast (cells that build bone) activity.
Your doctor will decide the dosage and duration based on your medical condition. Chondroitin+diacerein+glucosamine is likely safe to consume. It may cause side effects like diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, constipation, heartburn, stomach pain, and upset. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.
Please inform your doctor if you are known to be allergic to Chondroitin+diacerein+glucosamine or its inactive components. Brief your medical history to the doctor if you have any heart/kidney/liver diseases, asthma, prostate cancer, diabetes, glaucoma, bleeding disorders, shellfish allergy, cancer, high cholesterol levels, and high blood pressure before starting Chondroitin+diacerein+glucosamine. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking Chondroitin+diacerein+glucosamine. It is unknown how alcohol consumption affects the working of this medicine; hence, please consult a doctor. Diacerein and Glucosamine are not recommended for children; however, it is advised to seek medical advice.
Uses of Chondroitin+diacerein+glucosamine
Medicinal Benefits
Chondroitin+diacerein+glucosamine contains Chondroitin, Diacerein, and Glucosamine. Chondroitin and Glucosamine protect chondrocytes and have anti-inflammatory properties. They provide long-lasting pain relief by slowing down the degeneration changes of joints. They also maintain the elasticity and strength of the joints. Glucosamine also lubricates the joints and improves flexibility and movement. It prevents damage to the joints and supports joint structures like tendons, ligaments and discs. Diacerein reduces inflammation and cartilage destruction. It is also used to correct the altered osteoblast (cells that build bone) activity.

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 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 past injuries, such as torn cartilage, dislocated joints, and ligament injuries.
FAQs
Chondroitin+diacerein+glucosamine is a health supplement that treats joint pain and inflammation in osteoarthritis. It works by building the cartilage and improves the fluid around the joints, thus preventing breakdown. It is used to relieve joint pain, swelling, and stiffness.
Chondroitin+diacerein+glucosamine contains Diacerein, which is not recommended in patients aged 65 years and above since it may lead to the risk of severe diarrhoea and liver-related problems. However, it is advised to consult a doctor if you have any concerns.
Glucosamine and Chondroitin may affect blood sugar levels. Hence caution is recommended if you have diabetes. Please consult your doctor before starting Chondroitin+diacerein+glucosamine.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is time for the next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and follow your usual dosage.
