Alflutop - the original drug, which is made from natural products. Analogues of this drug is not. But there is a fairly large group of medicines called hondroprotektorami and helps to restore cartilage.

What a chondroprotectors

"Breakage" works the joints most often occurs because of the cartilage that covers the joint surfaces and a shock absorber. Cartilage tissue is a type of connective tissue, which consists of cellular elements and extracellular substances. It intercellular substance has a resilient cushioning properties that protect the bones from injury. It consists of proteoglycans glucosamine and chondroitin, which gives cartilage elasticity. Update cartilage is due to intra-articular (synovial) fluid, which contains all the necessary material.

In degenerative processes in joints and blood circulation reduces the amount of synovial fluid, resulting in cartilage degenerates and loses its elastic properties, crack. Exposed bone under constant injuries begin to grow - formed osteoarthritis and osteochondrosis.

For drugs in this group include drugs containing proteoglycans, stimulates the synthesis of proteoglycans and combined funds.

What alflutop

Alflutop - a drug of natural origin, which contains extracts from four species of small sea fish.

Alflutop contains proteoglycans, including hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, dermatan sulfate, keratan sulfate. In addition, it contains the essential amino acids, macro- and microelements. He has a positive effect on metabolism Improves metabolism and losing weight without dieting   in the cartilage and anti-inflammatory effect.

Alflutop chondroprotective effect is to suppress the action of the enzyme hyaluronidase and other enzymes that are involved in the destruction of the intercellular substance of the cartilage. In addition, it promotes the formation of collagen and hyaluronic acid (a protein that is part of the cartilage).

Chondroprotectors, which include glucosamine

Glucosamine is a biologically active substance proteinglikanom affecting metabolism in the cartilage. It compensates for the natural deficiency glucosamine stimulates the synthesis of proteoglycans and hyaluronic acid in periarticular fluid, and restores the elastic properties of the protective cartilage reduces joint pain Joint pain - how to understand what is going on? .

Indications for use of preparations containing glucosamine, such as for Alflutop. For drugs in this group include Don (Rottfarm, Ireland), which is available as ampoules for injection and bags for solution for oral administration.

Chondroprotectors, which include chondroitin sulfate

Chondroitin sulfate - is proteinglikan that affects calcium and phosphorus metabolism in cartilage, slow changes in the bone tissue, reduces the loss of bone calcium, it accelerates the recovery process pauses cartilage degeneration. It prevents compression of cartilage acts as a lubricant of the articular surfaces. When applied topically to slow the progression of osteoarthritis. Normalizes metabolism and stimulates cartilage regeneration.

For drugs in this group include structum (Pierre Fabre, France), which is available in capsules for oral administration and has hondrostimuliruyuschimi and anti-inflammatory properties, slows the degeneration of cartilage. It also improves mobility and reduces pain in degenerative diseases of joints and spine.

Indications for use structum are the same as in Alflutop.

Chondroprotectors, composed of glucosamine and chondroitin

There are also a number of chondroprotective, which contain glucosamine, and chondroitin. These drugs are terafleks Teraflex - regulates the metabolism of the cartilage   (Sagmel, USA) hondrafleks (Minskinterfaks, Belarus), arthritis (Unipharm, USA).

All of these drugs have the ability to stimulate the regeneration of cartilage tissue, prevents processes of destruction of articular cartilage, helps to restore mobility in the joints. It is used for osteoarthritis and osteochondrosis.

Thus, despite the fact that no Alflutop analogs than the drug has to be replaced.

Exchange-degenerative diseases of joints and spine are today among the most common diseases that lead to disability of patients. Therefore, treatment of special attention. The drug alflutop Alflutop: drug for the treatment of joints   helps to relieve inflammation and pain and restore the state of the cartilage of the joint.

Alflutop is a concentrated extract of the four species of small marine fishes, which contains a large number of biologically active substances. First of all, it giluronovaya acid, which "draws" water to itself, whereby the cartilage begins to recover his characteristic properties - flexibility and ductility. In addition, Alflutop contains many other substances, active influence on metabolism Improves metabolism and losing weight without dieting   in the osteoarticular system, including minerals.

Action Alflutop

The main effect of the drug is aimed at suppressing the activity of the enzyme hyaluronidase, which breaks down hyaluronic acid is vital for the proper functioning of joints.

Influenced Alflutop recover all types of metabolism, decreases the permeability of blood vessels, which helps to reduce swelling of tissues and relieves pain.

Alflutop Another feature is that it stimulates the production of prostaglandins - substances which protect the gastric mucosa against external influences. This allowed to prescribe a drug also prophylactically to prevent erosive and ulcerative lesions of the stomach. The fact is that joint disease is almost always accompanied by severe pain and their removal shall be appointed by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). They are well relieve pain, but have a side effect: destroy prostaglandins which protect the gastric mucosa, causing it to appear erosion and ulcers. Co-administration of NSAIDs and Alflutop reduces the likelihood of lesions of the gastrointestinal tract.

Improving the condition of patients during treatment with Alflutop can be seen not only in their state but also according to further research: first, reduced signs of inflammation (according to laboratory testing) and then partially or fully restored cartilage in the joint (according to X-ray studies ).

The main application alflutop found in the treatment of metabolic (degenerative) joint disease or osteoarthritis. Such diseases arise for various reasons: after injury, inflammation, intoxication, against aging. This decreases the extent and crack cartilage, which normally covers the articular surfaces and a shock absorber. As a result, there is a constant trauma of bone joints, stimulates the growth of it in the form of bone protrusions or spines, which further aggravates the condition of patients. Alflutop in this case improves metabolism and promotes a slow but steady recovery of cartilage and improves blood circulation. The latter is important, since the poor blood supply in the recovery processes will not start in any tissue.

When inflammation in the joints alflutop can be administered to prevent the formation of osteoarthritis with movement disorders. Unfortunately, many severe inflammatory disease and arthritis finishes formation of contractures (persistent information limbs). Alflutop helps not only to prevent this complication, but also reduces inflammation and pain. At the same time the pain when administered may worsen as alflutop promotes the formation of prostaglandins, which in the joints causing inflammation. Therefore, it is desirable to apply alflutop simultaneously with NSAIDs.

Apply alflutop and diseases of the spine, such as low back pain Osteochondrosis - learn how to properly distribute the weight   and spondylosis. In this case, alflutop helps relieve pain and improve the metabolic processes in the area of ​​the spinal column.

In some cases, alflutop appoint dentists to restore the bone and cartilage in the dentition. Its condition can be violated with periodontitis (degenerative diseases of the periodontal tissues) and periodontitis (chronic inflammatory processes in this area).

Contraindications for admission

The drug has almost no contraindications, it is not recommended if you are sensitive, pregnancy, breast-feeding Breast-feeding: feed - and no nails!   and at the age of 18 years. This happens because not conducted clinical studies with pregnant women, nursing mothers, children and adolescents.

Because of side effects in the treatment of Alflutop irritation may occur at the site of injection, pain in muscles and joints.

Alflutop - preparation, protect and restore our joints.
