About Arthovit GM 50mg/1500mg Tablet

Arthovit GM 50mg/1500mg Tablet belongs to a class of medications called 'non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID)/ anti-inflammatory and antirheumatic agents, non-steroids', primarily taken for reducing the pain of osteoarthritis (OA) in specific large and small joints. Osteoarthritis is a chronic (lifelong) joint condition in which Glucosamine sulfate (a chemical found in the human body, especially in joints) gets reduced. The body uses this fluid to produce other chemicals required to make ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and the thick fluid surrounding joints. When this chemical gets reduced, then the cartilage breaks down and becomes thin, which causes friction between the bones leading to wear and tear (damage) of the joint tissues leading to pain, stiffness, inflammation, and reduced locomotion. 

The Arthovit GM 50mg/1500mg Tablet compromises two medicines, namely Diacerein and Glucosamine. Diacerein restricts the action of a protein responsible for causing inflammation and destruction of cartilage or osteoarthritis. At the same time, Glucosamine sulfate is a natural protein found in the body used by the body to produce various chemicals responsible for building ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and the thick fluid surrounding joints. Taking Arthovit GM 50mg/1500mg Tablet may either enhance the cartilage and fluid surrounding joints or prevent both components' breakdown. In combination, both help form cartilage (the soft tissue that cushions the joints) and make the joints lubricated for better movement and flexibility. Arthovit GM 50mg/1500mg Tablet relieves pain, thereby improving joint function and helping individuals restore their quality of life. It also increases the cushioning and lubrication of joints that, provide relief in pain and easily do physical activity.

  • Please do not go for heavy exercise as it may increase your joint pain in arthritis. Instead, you can do stretching and low-impact aerobic exercises like walking on a treadmill, bike riding, and swimming. You can also strengthen your muscle strength by lifting light weights.
  • Including fish like salmon, trout, tuna, and sardines in your daily diet. These fishes are enriched with omega-3 fatty acids with a minimum level of chemicals called cytokines, which ramp up inflammation.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Pain: Pain is an unpleasant and emotional experience associated with tissue damage. It allows the body to react and prevent further tissue damage. Pain can be short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic). Pain perception can differ from person to person, from tolerable to non-tolerable.

Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms of osteoarthritis include pain, stiffness, inflammation and tenderness. The main reason for osteoarthritis is age; the older you are, the more likely you could get osteoarthritis, thus known as degenerative disease, meaning that the joints wear out as a person ages. Other reasons include past injuries such as torn cartilage, and dislocated joints and ligaments.
