It is safe if used as per your physicians Prescribed dose.. But common side effects are Nausea,Abdominal cramps, Diarrhoea.. Pls avoid it, if u are allergic to shell fish .. Don't use if u r Diabetic or planning for any surgery.. How ever compared to side effects ,its benifits are more for Osteoarthritis cases if used as per your Doctors advice
