Chondroxide® Forte cream has a combined effect: it slows the progression of osteoarthritis and osteochondrosis, has an analgesic effect, promotes an increase in joint motion (in the area of application of the cream), has anti-inflammatory action, reduces swelling of the joints.Due to the optimal combination of the components of the cream, there is a mutual enhancement of their analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects.
Chondroitin sulfate - high molecular weight mucopolysaccharide, which is a natural component of cartilaginous tissue. Chondroitin sulfate improves the phosphorus-calcium metabolism in the cartilaginous tissue, inhibits enzymes that cause cartilage damage, inhibits degeneration (destruction) of the cartilaginous tissue, stimulates the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans, promotes the regeneration (restoration) of the cartilaginous surfaces of the joints, accelerates the repair of their repair, prevents the collapse of connective tissue. This leads to a decrease in soreness and increased mobility of the affected joints.
Meloksikam - non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent, has anti-inflammatory, analgesic effect. Meloksikam selectively inhibits cyclooxygenase 2, disrupts the metabolism of arachidonic acid, reduces the number of prostaglandins (mediators of pain and inflammation) in the inflammatory focus. Meloksikam is a chondrojetral drug, does not adversely affect cartilaginous tissue, does not affect the synthesis of proteoglycan by chondrocytes of articular cartilage.
