Ointment hondroksid requires not just imposing and thorough, within a few minutes of rubbing the lesion. As a result of the application of the ointment hondroksid combined with regular massage the affected area of ​​the spine or joints, which increases the effect of the treatment.

How does the ointment hondroksid

Ointment hondroksid issued Nizhpharm pharmaceutical company, which is now part of the international pharmaceutical group Stada. As part of ointments have active substance (chondroitin sulfate), which has a positive effect on the condition of the tissues of peripheral joints and spine.

Chondroitin is a part of the cartilage tissue with collagen fibers, it forms a matrix of the tissue that supports its elasticity and durability. When metabolic disorders Metabolism: The basis of life of all living things   joint decreases the formation of chondroitin and cartilage loses its basic properties. And as she served for the protection of bone, protecting it from injury, the bone begins to suffer from increased stress and microtrauma, which leads to its widening in the form of spikes. Decreases as the amount of synovial fluid which lubricates the joints. This condition is called osteoarthritis Osteoarthritis - take care of the joints healthy longer . A similar disease with a lesion primarily develops intervertebral discs in the spine is called osteochondrosis Osteochondrosis - learn how to properly distribute the weight .

Excipients that are contained in the ointment hondoksid, enhance its effect. Thus, the ointment comprises dimethyl sulfoxide, which has analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects of some reduces the ability of blood to thrombosis, chondroitin better penetration through cell membranes in the tissue.

In general hondroksid Ointment reduces the development of metabolic disorders in the cartilage of joints and intervertebral discs, including blocks the action of enzymes that destroy cartilage, stimulates the reparative processes in these tissues, increases the production of synovial fluid. All this leads to a decrease in pain, mobility and general improvement of joint function. It improves the function of the spine.

When appointed

The main purpose of hondroksid ointment - treatment and prevention of exacerbations of osteoarthritis and osteochondrosis. Ointment - a dosage form which acts slowly and gently, causing no side effects (except, of course, allergies, which is any drug). Ointment is rapidly absorbed in the tissue, its main active substance accumulates in interarticular liquid gradually influencing joint tissue. Adjuvants enhance the analgesic effect of the drug.

Under the effect of the ointment hondroksid gradually improving condition of the cartilage of the joints, preventing the progression of osteoarthritis and restores the normal amount of synovial fluid. Significantly reduced pain, recovers joint function. Apply ointment and inflammatory diseases of the joints - it relieves pain and inflammation.

Also actively ointment hondroksid affects the tissues of the spine, improving the state of the intervertebral discs. Patients with osteochondrosis get significant relief from the use of this ointment.

Hondroksid ointment is also used for fractures - it helps to reduce pain and more rapid formation of callus.

In some diseases, periodontal tissue (periodontal), under which can suffer cartilage and bone of the upper and lower jaws, regular application of ointment hondroksid can improve the condition of patients, reducing pain and pathological changes in the tissues.

Apply the ointment two or three times a day, it is applied to the area of ​​the skin over the affected organ and actively rub in two to three minutes. This application inter alia improves blood circulation, which further enhances the effect. Apply the ointment courses of two to three weeks, if necessary, repeat the treatment.

Side effects and contraindications

Side effects ointment hondroksid only known allergic reactions, this side effect requires discontinuation of the drug.

Contraindications for use ointments hondroksid is an idiosyncrasy of its components. The caution is recommended to apply ointment during pregnancy, breast- Breastfeeding - a personal choice   feeding and childhood, as the ointment is absorbed into the blood and may cause the overall impact on the body.

Ointment hondroksid help alleviate the condition of patients with various diseases of the joints and spine.

Teraflex - a drug that restores the cartilage. It is prescribed for the prevention of fracture stimulation and recovery of the articular cartilage, as well as to improve the mobility of joints. Teraflex also has a slight anti-inflammatory effect.

The mechanism of action Teraflex

Teraflex refers to a group of drugs that regulate metabolic processes in the cartilage. Active ingredient of this drug is a sustainable combination of glucosamine and chondroitin.

It is produced in the form of capsules (terafleks and terafleks Advance) and cream (terafleks M). The composition includes terafleks capsules 500 mg of glucosamine hydrochloride and chondroitin sulfate 400 mg. The composition terafleks Advanced include glucosamine sulfate - 250 mg Sodium chondroitin sulfate - 200 mg ibuprofen - 100 mg. 1 g of cream for external use terafleks M contains: glucosamine hydrochloride - 3 mg chondroitin sulfate - 8 mg, camphor - 32 mg, peppermint oil Mint and its useful properties: aromatic freshness   peppermint - 9 mg.

We have Teraflex analogues: arthritis, glucosamine, chondroitin, kondronova, stopartrit, stopartrit Normal, super fort struktuvit, fleksalis, Honda, chondroitin and glucosamine.

Glucosamine hydrochloride and chondroitin sulfate, are involved in the formation of connective tissue, which consists of cartilage. These two active substances prevent the destruction of the cartilage that covers the surface of the joint and prevents bone destruction. Thus glucosamine enhances the production bases cartilage and provides protection against any toxic damage, including the toxic substances generated as a result of metabolism. Glucosamine has also a slight inflammatory effect and protects the cartilage from the destructive action of certain other drugs that may be useful in the treatment of joints (e.g., nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or glucocorticoids).

Chondroitin - this additional material to form the basis of cartilage. It activates the formation of substances in the body that make up the cartilage (gialuronona, proteoglycans, collagen) and prevents the destruction of the formed gialuronona. In addition, it supports normal viscosity of synovial fluid, stimulates recovery of cartilage and inhibits the action of enzymes that break down cartilage. Chondroitin also reduces the unpleasant manifestations of metabolic and degenerative joint disease (osteoarthritis), and reduces the need for the appointment of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

All these features allow you to assign terafleks chronic degenerative and inflammatory joints.

Advanced Teraflex and terafleks M

The composition of capsules terafleks Advanced includes smaller dosage glucosamine and chondroitin, as well as ibuprofen, which belongs to the group of NSAIDs. In this regard, the preparation has greater anti-inflammatory and regenerating action smaller.

Cream terafleks M other than glucosamine and chondroitin is composed of camphor, and peppermint oil. Camphor while when applied on the skin over the affected joint irritates nerve located therein okrnchaniya (receptors) that leads to reflex extension located in the skin and subcutaneous tissue of blood vessels, improves blood supply to tissues and exerts some antiseptic action. Peppermint oil on the skin has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, distracting and some antiseptic.

Indications and contraindications for use Teraflex

Indications for use drugs terafleks, terafleks Advanced terafleks and M metabolic (degenerative dystrophic) joint and spine diseases - osteoarthritis osteochondrosis Osteochondrosis - learn how to properly distribute the weight .

Contraindications terafleks Teraflex - regulates the metabolism of the cartilage   with severe kidney disease in violation of their function, pregnancy, breast- Breastfeeding - a personal choice   feeding, in children (under 15 years) and hypersensitive to the components of the drug. With careful use terafleks diabetes, bleeding disorders and asthma.

In Teraflex Advanced contraindications more - it also includes a contraindication for NSAIDs. Cream terafleks M should not be used in violation of the integrity of the skin, as well as with individual intolerance of its components.

Side effects

Teraflex has few side effects. May occur in the stomach, bloating, constipation or diarrhea, in this case the dose is reduced by half, and if this does not help, cancel terafleks. It is also possible dizziness, headache, drowsiness or insomnia, seizures, palpitations, pain and swelling in the lower limbs, and allergic reactions.

Advanced Teraflex has a lot more side effects that are associated with the action of NSAIDs. Teraflex M does not have any side effects, except allergic reactions.
