Kondro Acute 

Kondro Acute (Glucosamine Diacerein Tablet) is a prescription medication used to treat osteoarthritis (OA), a condition characterized by the breakdown of joint cartilage and underlying bone.

Composition:

Each tablet of Kondro Acute contains 500mg of glucosamine and 30mg of diacerein.

Mechanism of Action:

Glucosamine is a naturally occurring amino sugar that is an important component of cartilage. It helps to maintain the structure and function of cartilage by:

• Regulating the synthesis of proteoglycans, which are molecules that give cartilage its elasticity and ability to absorb shock
• Inhibiting the activity of enzymes that break down cartilage

Diacerein is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent that helps to reduce inflammation and pain in the joints. It works by:

• Inhibiting the production of prostaglandins, which are hormone-like substances that cause pain and inflammation
• Blocking the action of cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, which are involved in the production of prostaglandins

Dosage:

The recommended dosage of Kondro Acute is one tablet taken twice daily, with or without food.
