About OSTEOCERIN TABLET

OSTEOCERIN TABLET belongs to the group of medicines called anti-inflammatory agents used to treat and relieve symptoms of 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 called cartilage

OSTEOCERIN TABLET is a combination of three drugs: Glucosamine (anti-inflammatory & anti-rheumatoid agents), methyl sulfonyl methane (nutritional supplement) and diacerein (anti-inflammatory). OSTEOCERIN TABLET works by helping in the build-up of cartilage. Cartilage is the connective tissue located on the bones near the joints. This build-up of cartilage helps in joint repair.

In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as headache, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, wind, indigestion, abdominal pain, and 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 doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.

Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. OSTEOCERIN TABLET may cause drowsiness and dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. OSTEOCERIN TABLET should not be given to children as safety and efficacy have not been established. Avoid consuming alcohol along with OSTEOCERIN TABLET as it could lead to increased drowsiness and dizziness. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medicines to rule out any side-effects.

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 called 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, inflammation, stiffness, 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 a past injury such as torn cartilage, dislocated joints and ligament injuries.
