Lupus - an autoimmune disease characterized by acute and chronic inflammation of various tissues of the body. Autoimmune diseases occur when the body's tissues are attacked by its own immune system. Normally, the immune system is to fight harmful microorganisms; One way of doing so - to produce antibodies that inhibit vital dangerous bacteria.

In people with lupus, the immune system produces antibodies to attack the tissues of the body that the immune system is likely to accept for dangerous bacteria. Since the antibody can affect inflammation and tissue throughout the body can cause a lupus disease of the skin, heart, lungs, kidneys, joints, and / or nervous system.

When lupus affects only the skin, a condition called lupus. Its shape, in which only individual struck areas of the skin is called discoid lupus erythematosus. The form of the disease, in which also struck internal organs - systemic lupus erythematosus.

And discoid and systemic lupus are more common in women than in men; Typically, the disease develops between the ages of twenty to forty-five years.

Causes

The exact causes of autoimmune diseases, including lupus, are still not set. May play a role heredity, UV curing, and certain medications.

It is believed that genetic factors particularly affect the occurrence of autoimmune disorders.

Some researchers believe that in people with lupus, the body is easier to stimulation by external factors like viruses or ultraviolet light. In some patients, symptoms of lupus Symptoms of lupus - visible and hidden manifestations   appear or are worse even after a brief exposure to the sun.

We also know that for some women the symptoms are aggravated before menses. This allowed the scientists to make an assumption about the link between lupus and female hormones Female hormones: because you - a woman! ; Now in the area surveyed.

Most recently it found evidence that the development of systemic lupus can affect error in an important enzyme. This enzyme, DNase1, usually destroys the so-called "junk DNA" and other cellular debris. Researchers DNase1 deactivated in mice. At birth, the pups are healthy, but after six to eight months, most of them showing signs of systemic lupus erythematosus. Therefore, it was concluded that a congenital mutation depriving his ability to get rid of cell debris, may be one of the causes of systemic lupus.

What is drug-induced lupus?

Dozens of drugs are considered to be triggers of lupus, but more than ninety percent of cases of drug-induced lupus associated with taking six drugs. It hydralazine (Apresoline, take high blood pressure), quinidine and procainamide, which is recommended for cardiac arrhythmias, phenytoin - a cure for epilepsy patients Epilepsy - a sacred disease Isoniazid (for treating tuberculosis) and d-penicillamine - a drug from rheumatoid arthritis Rheumatoid arthritis - debunking myths about the disease . It is known that these drugs stimulate the immune system and cause systemic lupus. Fortunately, drug-induced lupus is uncommon (five percent of all cases of lupus), and usually takes place when the patient stops taking the drug trigger.

Teraflex capsules taken at chronic diseases of joints and spine, which are accompanied by the destruction of the cartilage of these bodies. At the heart of the cartilage is the connective tissue, the active compound Teraflex prevent the destruction of this tissue and partially restore it.

Basic mechanisms of action Teraflex capsules

Teraflex capsule comprises two active substances - glucosamine and chondroitin that ingestion absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract only partially: Glucosamine - 25% and 12% of chondroitin. Therefore terafleks take in enough doses treatment in several weeks. As a result of recovering metabolism in cartilage and it ceases to collapse, which in turn prevents the bone destruction of joints. Teraflks also improves blood circulation in the normal cartilage and synovial (intra) the liquid.

Glucosamine is a natural substance that is always present in cartilage. He is an active influence on the metabolism Improves metabolism and losing weight without dieting   cartilage cells and is involved in the repair of connective tissue. Glucosamine prevents the destruction of cartilage. Intake of additional glucosamine in capsules preme Teraflex enhances the synthesis of cartilage matrix and protects cartilage from chemical damage, including damage from toxic free radicals produced in cells during metabolism. Glucosamine has also a protective action when the body of other drugs, such as analgesics, which have a negative effect on the cartilage (e.g., glucocorticoids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs - corticosteroids and NSAIDs).

Action complements chondroitin glucosamine. They both take part in the construction of the foundations of cartilage. An important feature is its ability to hondroititna protect enzymes from breaking down hyaluronic acid. Attracts water. This allows cartilage to maintain or recover their property depreciation due to elasticity. Chondroitin is also involved in the synthesis of collagen - a protein that is the basis of connective tissue. Chondroitin has a mild anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, which can reduce the need for the appointment of other drugs with a similar action, which may have a negative effect on the cartilage (NSAIDs and corticosteroids).

The manufacturer of capsules terafleks Teraflex - regulates the metabolism of the cartilage   It is a pharmaceutical company Sagmel (USA).

Do all you can to take terafleks capsules

Teraflex capsules prescribed for degenerative joint and spine diseases - osteoarthritis and osteochondrosis.

Osteoarthritis most often result from metabolic disorders of the joints in old age. But they can also develop in patients with middle and even younger after diseases and injuries of joints. It destroyed in osteoarthritis cartilage that covers the joint surface cartilage and protects them from heavy physical exertion (acts as a shock absorber) and destruction. This results in pain, deformities and its dysfunction.

Also more likely to develop degenerative disc disease in the elderly, amid heavy physical exertion, and infectious and inflammatory processes. This destroys primarily intervertebral discs, consisting of dense connective tissue and operating cushioning function. Rupture disc leads to its loss and the removal of the limits of the spine - intervertebral hernia, which is accompanied by severe pain and disorders of the spine.

Contraindications Teraflex are hypersensitivity to the medication of the patient, pregnancy, breast-feeding Breastfeeding - a personal choice   feeding, childhood and adolescence (15 years) and severe kidney disease in violation of their functions.

Precautions are advised to take the capsules for patients with diabetes, disorders of blood clotting (increased bleeding) and bronchial asthma.

Side effects and overdose

Terafdeks generally well tolerated even with prolonged use. But sometimes it may appear, and the side effects:

• by the act - pain in the upper abdomen (stomach), diarrhea or constipation;
• the central nervous system - dizziness, headache, sleep disturbances Dreams: how to understand our dreams ;
• on the part of the cardiovascular system - heart attacks, peripheral edema;
• moreover, it may cause pain in the legs and allergic reactions in the form of various allergic rashes on the body.

Teraflex overdoses were reported.

Teraflex - quality medicines for the treatment of diseases of the joints and spine.
