How It Works
This medicine combines two active ingredients with complementary actions:

Glucosamine Sulfate helps in the formation and repair of cartilage. It supports the production of glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans, which are essential components of healthy joint cartilage.
-
Diacerein reduces inflammation by inhibiting interleukin-1 (IL-1), a key substance responsible for cartilage breakdown and joint inflammation.
Together, they help slow down joint degeneration while improving joint flexibility and comfort.
