✔️ Indication of Contilex 200mg/250mg Tablet

Contilex is a dietary supplement primarily indicated for osteoarthritis relief, particularly in areas like the knee, hip, spine, and hand. It is also beneficial for rheumatoid arthritis, sports injuries, migraines, certain skin disorders (e.g., psoriasis), vascular conditions (e.g., atherosclerosis), kidney stones, and inflammatory bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis.

✔️ Pharmacology

• Glucosamine: A naturally occurring amino sugar in the body, essential for synthesizing glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) like hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate, which form cartilage. Supplementing with glucosamine sulfate aids in cartilage production and repair, also stimulating chondrocytes to help produce GAGs and proteoglycans.
• Chondroitin Sulfate: Found in connective tissues, chondroitin supports cartilage structure and protects it from premature degradation. Its effects, combined with glucosamine, have shown efficacy in treating osteoarthritis, particularly in pain reduction and disease progression modification.
