Macrin 50mg Capsules

Macrin 50mg Capsules is a capsule made by Mcolson Research Labotraies that contains Diacerein 50mg, a slow-acting medicine for osteoarthritis. It is used for osteoarthritis of the knee and hip. Pack size: 30 capsules.

Uses of Macrin 50mg Capsules

Macrin 50mg Capsules is used to relieve the symptoms of osteoarthritis of the hip and knee, such as pain and stiffness. It is a slow-acting treatment, so it does not give quick relief, and painkillers may still be needed during the first weeks. Because of its side effects, its use is limited to adults under 65, and a doctor experienced in treating osteoarthritis should decide whether it is suitable.

How Macrin 50mg Capsules works

Diacerein blocks interleukin-1, a chemical messenger involved in inflammation and in the breakdown of joint cartilage. By damping down this process it may ease pain and slow some of the changes in the joint, with benefits building up over several weeks.

Possible side effects

Bowel changes are the most common problem with Macrin 50mg Capsules. Side effects include:

• Diarrhoea or loose stools
• Stomach pain
• Yellow or brown discolouration of the urine
• Wind
• Itching or rash

Stop taking it and contact your doctor if diarrhoea is severe or persistent, as this can lead to dehydration. Seek help for yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine with pale stools, or ongoing abdominal pain.

Precautions and warnings

• It is not recommended for people aged 65 or over, or for anyone with liver disease.
• Stop it if diarrhoea develops and speak to your doctor; it should not be taken with laxatives.
• Your doctor may check your liver function during treatment.
• Benefits appear only after several weeks, so keep taking it as prescribed.
