GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE
About GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE
GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE belongs to the group of proteoglycan synthesis stimulators primarily used in the treatment of osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a condition in which the joints are affected. It occurs as a result of the disintegration and breakdown of the cushioning tissue and cartilage surrounding the joints. Pain, redness and swelling in the joints of the hands, knees, hips and lower limbs are common symptoms.
GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE contains Glucosamine Sulfate Potassium Chloride, a chondroprotective agent that alleviates the pain and swelling occurring in joints and muscles by stimulating the production of proteoglycans, a necessary component required to synthesize bone-shielding cartilage. Thereby, GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE cushions bones and joints and provides pain relief.
Take GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE as advised. In some cases, GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE may cause certain common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your physician if these side effects persist or worsen.
Avoid using GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE if allergic to it. GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE is not recommended for use in case of shellfish allergy. Take GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE with caution if you have/had kidney disease, diabetes, asthma or hypertension. Consult your physician if you are pregnant, planning to get pregnant, or breastfeeding. GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE is not recommended for children as safety and effectiveness have not been established.
Uses of GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE
Medicinal Benefits
GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE is used to treat mild to moderate osteoarthritis. GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE contains Glucosamine Sulfate Potassium Chloride, a chondroprotective (chondros meaning cartilage) agent. GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE thus works by contributing to the production of bone-protecting cartilage. It stimulates the synthesis of proteoglycan- a very essential material for cartilage production. In addition, GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE exerts anti-inflammatory action and slows down cartilage destruction. Thus, GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE is responsible for relieving the joints of swelling. By producing cartilage, GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE POTASSIUM CHLORIDE cushions bones and joints and provides pain relief.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis. It occurs due to the breakdown of the cartilage that cushions and protects the bones. The disease progresses gradually and tends to worsen if not treated. Symptoms include joint pain in the hips, lower back, knees and hands. It is commonly seen in post-menopausal women.
