Glucosamine and sodium chondroitin sulfate are involved in the biosynthesis of connective tissue, helping to prevent cartilage destruction and stimulating tissue regeneration. The introduction of exogenous glucosamine enhances the production of cartilage matrix and provides nonspecific protection, including against NSAIDs and glucocorticosteroids (GCS). The drug has a moderate antiinflammatory effect.Chondroitin sulfate sodium, regardless of whether it is absorbed in an intact form or in the form of separate components, serves as an additional substrate for the formation of a healthy cartilage matrix. Stimulates the formation of proteoglycans and collagen type II, and also protects the cartilage matrix from enzymatic cleavage (by suppressing the activity of hyaluronidase) and from the damaging effects of free radicals; maintains the viscosity of the synovial fluid, stimulates cartilage repair mechanisms and inhibits the activity of those enzymes (elastase, hyaluronidase) that break down cartilage. In the treatment of osteoarthritis, it relieves the symptoms of the disease and reduces the need for NSAIDs. Indications for use: Osteoarthritis of the peripheral joints and spine.
