Chondroxide® gel has a combined action:
- slows the progression of osteoarthritis and osteochondrosis;
- has analgesic effect;
- has anti-inflammatory effect;
- stimulates the restoration of articular cartilage;
- improves the mobility of joints;
- reduces swelling of the joints.
Due to the optimal combination of gel components, the mutual enhancement of their analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects is noted. The use of the drug Chondroxide®, gel, allows to reduce the dose of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs taken. Chondroxide® contains a natural component
chondroitin sulfate (high molecular weight mucopolysaccharide), which takes part in the construction of cartilaginous tissue. Chondroitin sulfate:
- improves phosphoric-calcium metabolism in cartilaginous tissue;
- reduces the activity of enzymes that destroy cartilaginous tissue;
- inhibits the processes of degeneration (destruction) of cartilaginous tissue;
- stimulates the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans;
- prevents the collapse of connective tissue.
This leads to a decrease in soreness and increased mobility of the affected joints.
