Artra N60 TAB drugs for the treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system

Artra (Artra) drugs for the treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system (glucosamine 500 mg + chondroitin 500 mg) 60 tablets

pharmachologic effect

Stimulates the regeneration of cartilage tissue. Glucosamine and chondroitin sodium sulfate are involved in the biosynthesis of connective tissue, helping to prevent the destruction of cartilage, stimulating tissue regeneration. The introduction of exogenous glucosamine enhances the production of cartilage matrix and provides nonspecific protection, incl. from NSAIDs and GCS. The drug has a moderate anti-inflammatory effect.

Chondroitin sodium sulfate, whether absorbed intact or as separate components, serves as an additional substrate for the formation of a healthy cartilage matrix. Stimulates the formation of proteoglycans and collagen type II, and also protects the cartilage matrix from enzymatic degradation (by suppressing the activity of hyaluronidase) and from the damaging effects of free radicals; maintains the viscosity of synovial fluid, stimulates cartilage repair mechanisms and inhibits the activity of those enzymes (elastase, hyaluronidase) that break down cartilage. In the treatment of osteoarthritis, it relieves the symptoms of the disease and reduces the need for NSAIDs.
