Orthoceptor-GC Tablet 60's

Orthoceptor-GC Tablet 60's is a combination medicine primarily used to treat osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a joint condition in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage. It causes friction between the bones leading to wear and tear (damage) of the joint tissues. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, inflammation, and reduced locomotion. Orthoceptor-GC Tablet 60's relieves pain, thereby improving joint function and restoring quality of life. It also increases the cushioning and lubrication of joints.

Orthoceptor-GC Tablet 60's contains Glucosamine and Chondroitin. Glucosamine is used by the body to produce various chemicals responsible for building ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and the thick fluid surrounding joints. Chondroitin restricts the action of a protein responsible for causing inflammation and destruction of cartilage in osteoarthritis. It also provides elasticity. Both in combination help in the formation of cartilage (the soft tissue that cushions the joints) and make the joints lubricated for better movement and flexibility.

Take Orthoceptor-GC Tablet 60's as prescribed by your doctor. You are suggested to take Orthoceptor-GC Tablet 60's for as long as your doctor has prescribed based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as headache, tiredness, nausea, abdominal pain, indigestion, diarrhoea, constipation, and wind.

• Turmeric and fish oils can help in reducing inflammation in the tissue.
• Please do not go for heavy exercise as it may increase your joint pain in arthritis. Instead, you can do stretching, low impact aerobic exercises like walking on a treadmill, bike riding, and swimming. You can also strengthen your muscle by lifting light weights.
• Include fish like salmon, trout, tuna, and sardines. These fishes are enriched with omega-3 fatty acids that contain the minimum level of a chemical called cytokines, which ramp up inflammation.
• Your sitting posture is important, especially when you have pain and inflammation conditions. Try to sit little as possible. Use back support like a rolled-up towel at the back of your curve to minimize pain. Keep your knees and hips at a right angle. Besides this, you can use a footrest if required.
• To achieve the best results, it is strongly recommended to remain physically active as much as your condition allows.
• Adopting a healthy lifestyle coupled with a high proteins diet is the mainstay of managing arthritic conditions.

Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is a joint condition in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage. It causes friction between the bones leading to wear and tear (damage) of the joint tissues. This disease can occur in any joint, but commonly affected areas of the body are hands, fingertips, knees, hips, spine, typically at the neck or lower back. The most common osteoarthritis symptoms include pain, tenderness (discomfort when pressing on the area with fingers), stiffness, and inflammation.
