Carticare Tablet 250 mg + 200 mg is a dietary supplement combining Glucosamine Sulfate (250 mg) and Chondroitin (200 mg), specifically formulated to support joint health and improve mobility in patients with osteoarthritis or joint discomfort.

Osteoarthritis and degenerative joint diseases are associated with the breakdown of cartilage, the tissue that cushions the joints. Glucosamine and Chondroitin are natural components of cartilage, and supplementation can help maintain cartilage integrity, reduce joint pain, and improve joint function. Carticare is widely used as a complementary therapy for adults experiencing joint stiffness, swelling, or discomfort.

Therapeutic Class

• Nutritional supplements for joint health

• Drugs for Osteoarthritis adjunct therapy

Pharmacology

• Glucosamine Sulfate is a naturally occurring amino sugar found in cartilage. It contributes to the formation of glycosaminoglycans, which are essential for cartilage repair and maintenance. By providing building blocks for cartilage synthesis, glucosamine sulfate may help slow cartilage degradation and reduce inflammation in affected joints.

• Chondroitin is a sulfated glycosaminoglycan that occurs naturally in cartilage and connective tissue. It helps retain water in cartilage, maintaining its elasticity and shock-absorbing properties. Chondroitin also exhibits anti-inflammatory effects, inhibits cartilage-destroying enzymes, and can reduce pain and improve joint function over time.

When combined, glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin work synergistically to support cartilage repair, reduce joint inflammation, and enhance overall joint health.
