Uses of Arthicare 500mg / 400mg Tablet

Arthicare 500mg / 400mg Tablet is a dietary supplement taken to support joint health, mainly by people with osteoarthritis of the knee or hip.

It is used alongside, not instead of, exercise, weight control and treatments recommended by your doctor.

How Arthicare 500mg / 400mg Tablet works

Glucosamine and chondroitin are natural building blocks of cartilage, the smooth tissue that cushions the ends of bones in a joint. Taking them as a supplement is thought to support cartilage structure and the fluid that lubricates the joint, which may ease discomfort over time.

Side effects with Arthicare 500mg / 400mg Tablet are uncommon and usually mild. Some people notice:

• Upset stomach or indigestion
• Nausea
• Bloating or wind
• Diarrhoea or constipation

Precautions and warnings

• Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to shellfish, as glucosamine is often made from shellfish shells.
• If you take warfarin, speak to your doctor first, as glucosamine may increase its blood-thinning effect.
• People with diabetes should monitor their blood sugar when starting, as glucosamine may affect glucose levels in some people.
• Ask your doctor before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as safety has not been established.
• If your joint pain does not improve after a few months, review whether to continue with your doctor or pharmacist.
