ContainsGlucosamine (750 mg) + Chondroitin (400 mg)
Description
JOINTACE FORTE TABLET is a combination of Glucosamine and Chondroitin. It is a supplement used orally in the treatment of osteoarthritis (OA). Osteoarthritis is a condition in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of the protective covering (cartilage). Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. JOINTACE FORTE TABLET helps your body to rebuild cartilage and replenish fluid around the joints (synovial fluid). It mainly helps to prevent the breakdown of cartilage and thereby improves the symptoms of osteoarthritis. JOINTACE FORTE TABLET very rarely shows side effects. However, you may experience heartburn, nausea, stomach pain, etc. that usually resolve without treatment. Avoid taking this medicine if you are allergic to it. JOINTACE FORTE TABLET should be taken with food for better absorption and to prevent an upset stomach. For the ease of remembering, take it at around the same time every day. JOINTACE FORTE TABLET relieves pain and swelling due to osteoarthritis but does not cure it. Your doctor will decide the dose and duration of this medicine based on the severity of your joint condition. Avoid self-medicating with this medicine and do not stop taking it on your own. JOINTACE FORTE TABLET should be taken with caution if there is a history of diabetes (increased blood sugar levels) or hyperlipidemia (increased levels of fats in the blood). Inform your doctor if you have any of these medical conditions. Also, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or are breastfeeding.

How it works
JOINTACE FORTE TABLET contains Glucosamine and Chondroitin. Glucosamine works as a precursor for the production of certain chemicals that are responsible for building tendons, ligaments, thick fluid around the joints, and cartilage. Chondroitin is a normal constituent of cartilage (a protective layer at the ends of bones). It prevents cartilage from breaking down and can also stimulate its repair mechanisms.
