Medicinal Benefits

Rivaflex Tablet has anti-inflammatory (reduce pain and inflammation) properties and relieves pain, swelling, and other symptoms associated with osteoarthritis. Rivaflex Tablet compromises two medicines, namely Glucosamine and Chondroitin. Glucosamine is used by the body to produce various chemicals responsible for building ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and the thick fluid surrounding joints. Chondroitin restricts the action of a protein responsible for causing inflammation and destruction of cartilage. It also provides elasticity. Both in combination help in the formation of cartilage (the soft tissue that cushions the joints) and make the joints lubricated for better movement and flexibility. Rivaflex Tablet relieves pain, thereby improving joint function and helping an individual restore their quality of life. It also increases the cushioning and lubrication of joints.

About Rivaflex Tablet

Rivaflex Tablet is a combination medicine primarily used to treat osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a joint condition in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage. It causes friction between the bones leading to wear and tear (damage) of the joint tissues. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, inflammation, and reduced locomotion. Rivaflex Tablet relieves pain, thereby improving joint function and restoring quality of life. It also increases the cushioning and lubrication of joints.
