Modern anti-arthritis drug. Combined glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate supplements slow the progression of osteoarthritis - the deterioration of cartilage between joint bones - and reduce associated pain. These are both naturally occurring molecules in the body.
Chondroitin works together with Glucosamine to block the action of cartilage-damaging enzymes, and promotes the healthy flow of water and nutrients into cartilage producing cells.

Pharmaceutical Form:
Tablet.
White color film coated oval shaped tablet with "ARTRA" embossed on one side of the tablet.
NOTICE: Contact with moisture may produce surface discoloration or erosion of the tablet.

Pharmotherapeutic Group & Information:
Glucosamine is a natural substance, found in the body's cartilage. It plays an important role in the health and resiliency of joints and cartilage. Chondroitin is a vital compound in connective tissue that is partly responsible for building and supporting cartilage. The amounts of glucosamine and chondroitin in body cartilage and joint tissue decline with age. Highly active people who place more stress on their joints and cartilage may lose more glucosamine than less active ones.
There are no known food sources with sufficient sources of glucosamine or chondroitin.
This product is a specially formulated formula to support body cartilage and normal joint tissue function.
