"Chondrolone" is a drug that affects metabolic processes in hyaline cartilage. The specified drug activates the biosynthesis of glucosaminoglycans, and also reduces the destructive changes in the cartilage tissue. When using the above medication, pain decreases and the motility of the affected joints improves. It is worth noting that the therapeutic effect after using this drug persists for a long time. Chondrolone (analogues of this drug are actively used in the treatment of arthropathy, osteoarthritis, as well as intervertebral osteochondrosis), doctors are often prescribed as part of complex therapy for the treatment of joints. Use these medicines only with the permission of your doctor. Many experts recommend combining Chondrolone (analogues too) with moderate physical exertion, which contribute to increased blood flow to the joints. The effect of drugs during pregnancy and the lactation period has not yet been adequately studied, so the decision for each specific case is made by the doctor individually, taking into account all the pros and cons of using the drug. In pharmacies, analogues of Chondrolone are presented, the price of which depends on the country of manufacture.

If necessary, a second therapeutic course is possible.
Means "Chondrolon": analogues and their mechanism of action
Chondroitin sulfate is a mucopolysaccharide that inhibits bone resorption. It optimizes the phosphorus-calcium metabolism in the cartilage tissue, activates the processes of its regeneration, inhibits the degeneration processes in the connective tissue. It stimulates the formation of glycosaminoglycans, increases the synthesis of intraarticular fluid, activates regenerative processes in the cartilage tissue. Chondroitin sulfate has a structural similarity with heparin, therefore, it can potentially inhibit the formation of blood clots in the subchondrial and synovial microvasculature.
Side effects
When using a pharmaceutical, side effects may occur. Most often these are allergic reactions. Sometimes patients using Chondrolone (drug analogs) may experience hemorrhage at the injection site. For the same reason, Chondrolone is not recommended for patients with hypersensitivity to the drug, bleeding disorders, tendency to bleeding, and the presence of thrombophlebitis.
