Pharmacological action

Stimulator of cartilage tissue regeneration.

Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate sodium take part in the biosynthesis of connective tissue, helping to prevent the destruction of cartilage, stimulating tissue regeneration. The introduction of exogenous glucosamine enhances the production of the cartilage matrix and provides non-specific protection, including from NSAIDs and corticosteroids. The drug has a moderate anti-inflammatory effect.

Chondroitin sulfate sodium, regardless of whether it is absorbed in intact form or in the form of individual components, serves as an additional substrate for the formation of a healthy cartilage matrix.

It stimulates the formation of proteoglycans and type II collagen, and also protects the cartilage matrix from enzymatic cleavage (by suppressing the activity of hyaluronidase) and from the damaging effects of free radicals; it supports the viscosity of synovial fluid, stimulates cartilage repair mechanisms, and suppresses the activity of those enzymes (elastase, hyaluronidase) that break down cartilage. When treating osteoarthritis, it eases the symptoms of the disease and reduces the need for NSAIDs.
