Pharmacodynamics
Combined three-component drug for the treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system. It contains glucosamine hydrochloride, ibuprofen and allantoin.
Due to the combined composition, the drug has chondroprotective, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-exudative, membrane-protective and antioxidant effects.
Glucosamine hydrochloride is a low molecular weight mucopolysaccharide that stimulates the regeneration of the articular bag and cartilage of the joint, and also inhibits the destruction of cartilage. Improves the synthesis of intra-articular fluid, which acts as a lubricant, improving joint gliding. Glucosamine hydrochloride increases the resistance of chondrocytes to the action of anti-inflammatory cytokinins and activates metabolic processes in the joint matrix, thereby contributing to the formation of a stable joint. Increases elasticity and resistance to cartilage compression, which are essential to resist physical stress. Glucosamine hydrochloride has a moderate anti-inflammatory effect, therefore it enhances the effect of ibuprofen.
Ibuprofen has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects.
The analgesic effect of ibuprofen is associated with a decrease in the intensity of inflammation, a decrease in the production and weakening of specific pain mediators (bradykinin analgesic). Reduces pain, including arthralgia at rest and during movement, reduces morning stiffness and swelling of the joint, increases range of motion.
Allantoin is a herbal preparation of comfrey officinalis.
It has anti-inflammatory properties, reduces pain, stimulates the processes of bone tissue regeneration.
Methylpyrolidinone is a transdermal substance that promotes the penetration of the active ingredients of the cream through the skin into the tissues of the joint.
