Summary of Product characteristics

KORDEL’S GLUCOSAMINE CHONDROITIN 500/400 CAPSULE
COMPOSITION
Each capsule contains glucosamine sulphate potassium chloride complex
equivalent to Glucosamine
sulphate 500mg and Chondroitin sulphate 400mg.
INDICATION
As an adjunct therapy for osteoarthritis.
PHARMACOLOGY AND MECHANISM OF ACTION
Osteoarthritis, or degenerative joint disease, is seen mainly, but not
exclusively, in the elderly. This
condition occurs when there is breakdown and damage of joint
cartilage, followed by hardening and
formation of bone spurs in the joint margins. Symptoms of
osteoarthritis include joint pain and joint
stiffness.
Glucosamine stimulates the biosynthesis of proteoglycans, which are
fundamental components of
aggrecan found in articular cartilage. Aggrecan confers on cartilage
its high shock‐absorbing properties
and resilience vital for proper joint function. Glucosamine also
inhibits enzymes involved in cartilage
degradation. In addition, glucosamine improves synovial fluid
production and viscosity, giving better
lubricant activity for the joints.
Chondroitin sulphate, as a vital component of aggrecan, helps to
maintain the structural integrity of
cartilage tissue. Loss of chondroitin sulphate from the joint
cartilage leads to loss of cartilage resilience
and
shock‐absorbing
properties.
Orally
administered
chondroitin
sulphate
leads
to
increases
in
hyaluronic acid production and viscosity of synovial fluid.
Chondroitin sulphate also inhibits enzymes
involved in degradation of cartilage.
Combination therapy with glucosamine and chondroitin helps to protect
joint cartilage from damage
(chondroprotection), reduces joint pain and improves joint function
and mobility.
Glucosamine/chondroitin combination is effective in all forms of
degenerative joint diseases such as
osteoarthritis
and
arthrosis,
both
acute
and
chronic,
bringing
relief
or
reduction
of
joint
pains,
improvement in joint function and inhibition or reversal of the
degenerative disease process.
