I am 32 yrs, I had knee pain and ortho doctor suggested me Glucosamine + Diacerein Tablets for a month - Am I a patient of arthritis ? I am too young, How long should I continue the medicine ? ## Have you asked your doctor about what they think is causing the problem and how long you should take the medication? They are the only ones that will really be able to advise you on this. Athritis, however, is possible at any age, there are people even younger than you that suffer from it.

its usefulness in improving the cartilege in knee joint ## Cartisafe contains 250mgs of Calcium and 500mgs of Glucosamine, so it is a supplement and not an actual medication. As such, it is claimed to help with improving joint function, but this has not actually been proven. THis also means the side effects are unknown, since supplements are not studied in the manner that prescription drugs are. Has your doctor prescribed this? ## I had a slight knee pain. I have a very slight pain in my middle finger first knuckles. I have a pain in my neck and below the neck. It is not in one place. Each time it changes from left to right and top to bottom. I thought of taking Cartisafe Forte 500mg. as per my friends advise. Is it good for me ? What do you suggest please ?

for back pain ## Glucosamine + Chondroitin is a joint supplement to promote healthy joints during exercise or daily activities in general. It is also used in the treatment of arthritis. Many health food stores and grocery stores carry this joint supplement combination. I cannot say whether or not it will help with back pain..... based on my personal experience with this, it doesn't seem as effective as one would think; but I would imagine one would have to be taking it for a while to notice some effects as compared to the immediate effects of pain medication. You can view more information in the link below... Please post back if you require further information regarding this supplement.

Does this work, if not any suggestions?

ARE IMFLAMATORY MEDICATIONS HARMFUL TO THE EYES? ## Instaflex is not an actual medication of any type, it is an over the counter supplement that is claimed to help with joint health. As such, the side effect profiles for it have not been studied, as is done for prescription medications. This company doesn't even list the full ingredients and amounts on their website, the only things they do note are that it contains Glucosamine, MSM and Hyuralonic Acid, which are contained in many over the counter products that are claimed to help your joints. As to actual NSAIDs, such as Diclofenac or Ibuprofen, visual changes and problems from them are considered serious side effects that you should contact your doctor about.

how long to take this drug and how effective. ## Rejoint contains 400mgs of Chondroitin and 500mgs of Glucosamine, it is a nutritional supplement that is claimed to help with joint health, because these substances are known to deplete in our joints due to age or injury. As a supplement, there is no definitive time period that you should take it, but it is not known to cause harm with long-term use. And in reference to its effectiveness, since it is a supplement, it is not actually proven to be effective, because it isn't tested like is done with prescription medications. The only way to see if it works for you is to actually try it. Some people get great results from using it and some don't. Learn more: Are there any questions or comments?
