Arthraheal Tablet belongs to a group of medications known as ‘analgesics’ used to reduce the pain of osteoarthritis (OA). Osteoarthritis is a chronic (lifelong) joint condition in which glucosamine sulfate (a chemical found in the human body, especially in joints) gets reduced. When this chemical gets reduced, the cartilage breaks down and becomes thin, which causes friction between the bones leading to wear and tear (damage) of the joint tissues. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, inflammation of the joints, and reduced locomotion.

Arthraheal Tablet contains Diacerein, Dimethyl sulfoxide, and Glucosamine. Diacerein slows down the breakdown of cartilage and helps to reduce pain and swelling. Dimethyl sulfoxide reduces the inflammation of the joints. Glucosamine reduces the breakdown of cartilage and helps to repair joints. Together, Arthraheal Tablet can lower pain, swelling, and inflammation of the joints.
