About Unijoint DN Tablet

Unijoint DN Tablet belongs to a group of medications known as 'supplements & adjuvant therapy' used to reduce 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 get reduces, 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. 

Unijoint DN Tablet compromises three medicines, namely Glucosamine, Diacerein and Methylsulfonylmethane. Taking Glucosamine may either enhance the cartilage and fluid surrounding joints or prevent both component's breakdown. At the same time, Diacerein restricts the action of a protein responsible for causing inflammation and destruction of cartilage or osteoarthritis. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) reduces joint pain, lowers inflammation, improves skin health, reduces allergic symptoms, and increases recovery after exercise. All in combination helps in the formation of cartilage (the soft tissue that cushions the joints) and make the joints lubricated for better movement and flexibility. Unijoint DN Tablet relieves pain, thereby improving joint functioning and helping an individual restore his/her quality of life. It also increases the cushioning and lubrication of joints providing relief from pain and easily do physical activity.

Medicinal Benefits

Unijoint DN Tablet compromises three medicines, namely Glucosamine, Diacerein, and Methylsulfonylmethane. Glucosamine sulfate is a natural protein used by the body to produce various chemicals responsible for building ligaments, cartilage, tendons and the thick fluid surrounding joints. When an individual becomes old, the levels of this fluid start reducing, which leads to a slow breakdown of joints. Taking it as a supplement boosts joint health and eases pain related to osteoarthritis. Diacerein is a slowly-acting medication that effectively treats swelling and pain in the joints. Methylsulfonylmethane is a type of natural chemical found in animals, plants and humans. Taking it as a supplement helps reduce inflammation, lowers pain and speeds recovery after exercise. It also reduces joint degeneration, which is a common reason for pain in the back, hands, knees and hips. All three medicines in combination, relieve pain or swelling due to Osteoarthritis.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Pain: It is an unpleasant sensation and emotional experience that is 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). Perception of pain can differ from person to person where from tolerable to non-tolerable.

Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is a chronic (lifelong) joint condition in which the 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 get reduces, 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.  It causes the bone to rub together, leading to pain, stiffness and other osteoarthritis symptoms. This disease can occur in any joint but commonly affected areas of the body are hands, fingertips, knees, hips, spine, typically at the neck or lower back. The most common osteoarthritis symptoms include pain, tenderness (discomfort when pressing on the area with fingers), stiffness and inflammation.
