About CARTIGEN CM TABLET

CARTIGEN CM TABLET belongs to a class of medications called nutritional supplements used to reduce pain, stiffness, and swelling in joints caused by 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 of cartilage. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness.

The CARTIGEN CM TABLET contains Glucosamine, which stimulates the formation and repair of the cartilage (the hard connective tissue that protects and covers the ends of long bones at the joints). It lubricates the joints and improves flexibility and movement. Thereby, reduces pain and swelling in the joints.

Take CARTIGEN CM TABLET as advised by your doctor. In some cases, you may experience constipation, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, or heartburn. Most of these side effects of CARTIGEN CM TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to shellfish, CARTIGEN CM TABLET, or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before taking CARTIGEN CM TABLET. Do not give CARTIGEN CM TABLET to children without doctor’s advice. Avoid consumption of alcohol with CARTIGEN CM TABLET as it may affect the way CARTIGEN CM TABLET works. Drive only if you are alert after taking CARTIGEN CM TABLET. You are recommended not to take more than the dose directed on the label as it may cause CARTIGEN CM TABLET overdose.

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 of 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, stiffness, inflammation, 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.
