Pharmacodynamics
Combined chondroprotective drug, the pharmacological effect of which is determined by the components included in its composition.
Chondroitin sulfate is a high-molecular mucopolysaccharide that participates in the construction of cartilage tissue. It reduces the activity of enzymes that destroy articular cartilage and stimulates the regeneration of articular cartilage. Chondroitin sulfate reduces the activity of the inflammatory process in the early stages and, thus, slows down the degeneration of cartilage tissue. Helps reduce pain, improve joint function, reduces the need for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee and hip joints.
Glucosamine hydrochloride has chondroprotective properties, reduces glucosamine deficiency in the body, participates in the biosynthesis of proteoglycans and hyaluronic acid. Glucosamine hydrochloride initiates the process of sulfur fixation during the synthesis of chondroitin sulfuric acid. Selectively acts on articular cartilage, is a specific substrate and stimulator of the synthesis of hyaluronic acid and proteoglycans, suppresses the formation of superoxide radicals and enzymes that cause damage to cartilage tissue (collagenase and phospholipase), prevents the destructive effect of glucocorticoids on chondrocytes and disruption of the biosynthesis of glucosaminoglycans caused by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs .
Indications
Degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the joints and spine: osteoarthritis, shoulder-scapular periarthritis, osteochondrosis; fractures (to accelerate the formation of bone calluses).
