Diacerein+dimethyl Sulfoxide+glucosamine

About Diacerein+dimethyl Sulfoxide+glucosamine

Diacerein+dimethyl Sulfoxide+glucosamine belongs to a group of medications known as ‘analgesics’ used to reduce the pain of osteoarthritis (OA). Osteoarthritis is a chronic (lifelong) joint condition in which glucosamine sulfate (a chemical found in the human body, especially in joints) gets reduced. When this chemical gets reduced, the cartilage breaks down and becomes thin, which causes friction between the bones leading to wear and tear (damage) of the joint tissues. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, inflammation of the joints, and reduced locomotion.

Diacerein+dimethyl Sulfoxide+glucosamine contains Diacerein, Dimethyl sulfoxide, and Glucosamine. Diacerein slows down the breakdown of cartilage and helps to reduce pain and swelling. Dimethyl sulfoxide reduces the inflammation of the joints. Glucosamine reduces the breakdown of cartilage and helps to repair joints. Together, Diacerein+dimethyl Sulfoxide+glucosamine can lower pain, swelling, and inflammation of the joints.

You should take this medicine as instructed by your doctor. The common side-effects of Diacerein+dimethyl Sulfoxide+glucosamine are headache, tiredness, nausea, abdominal pain, indigestion, onion-like taste in the mouth, diarrhoea, discolouration of the urine, constipation, and wind (flatulence).

    Disease/Condition Glossary

    Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is a chronic (lifelong) joint condition in which glucosamine sulfate (a chemical found in the human body, especially in joints) gets reduced. The body uses this fluid to produce other chemicals required to make ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and the thick fluid surrounding joints. When this chemical gets reduced, the cartilage breaks down and becomes thin, which causes friction between the bones leading to wear and tear (damage) of the joint tissues leading to pain, stiffness, inflammation, and reduced locomotion.  It causes the bone to rub together, leading to pain, stiffness, and other osteoarthritis symptoms. 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.
