Product Description

Joint Pain Relief Tablets is a combination oral formulation containing Boswellia Serrata Extract, collagen Hydrolysate & rosehip Extract belongs to the class of nutritional supplements, primarily used to treat inflammation and injuries in the knee and joints, particularly in auto-immune conditions like osteoarthritis. 

Uses

• Symptomatic relief of mild-to-moderate OA symptoms: Reduces joint pain, inflammation, stiffness, and functional limitations in knees, hips, or hands

• Support for cartilage maintenance and joint lubrication in early-stage OA or age-related wear

How it works

This formulation combines Boswellia serrata extract, Collagen hydrolysate, and Rosehip extract. Boswellia serrata extract (Aflapin) works by limiting the formation of substances that trigger inflammation, helping ease joint discomfort, swelling, and stiffness, and supporting better movement and joint flexibility.

Benefits

• Provides multi-targeted relief: Reduces OA pain (VAS score drop 10–20 mm), stiffness (morning duration <30 min), and swelling, improving daily function (e.g., walking distance +20–50 m per trial).

• Supports joint health: Glucosamine/MSM may modestly preserve cartilage (e.g., slight WOMAC score improvement); Diacerein slows radiographic progression in some studies (ECHODIAH trial).

• Safer profile for long-term use: Lower GI/cardiovascular risks than NSAIDs; suitable for elderly or those with comorbidities (e.g., no bleeding risk).

• Enhances quality of life: Better mobility and reduced reliance on analgesics; cost-effective for mild OA management.

How to use

It is generally recommended to take the tablets with food to minimize gastrointestinal side effects, especially those from Diacerein. Swallow the tablets whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, break, or chew them. This medication is often used as a long-term therapy for osteoarthritis. The full therapeutic effects of Diacerein and Glucosamine can take several weeks or months to become apparent. Do not stop taking the medication abruptly without consulting your doctor.

Side Effects

Common side effects (mostly from Diacerein; mild and dose-related):

• Gastrointestinal: Diarrhea (10–20%, often laxative effect), soft stools, abdominal pain, nausea, flatulence

• General: Mild headache (from MSM), stomach upset

Less common/rare but serious side effects (seek immediate medical attention):

• Urine/skin discoloration: Dark yellow/brown urine or bluish skin (harmless, from Diacerein metabolites; resolves on discontinuation)

• Allergic: Rash, itching (especially shellfish-derived glucosamine)

• Hepatic: Elevated liver enzymes (1–2%; jaundice, fatigue—monitor LFTs)

• Other: Drowsiness, tinnitus (rare); MSM may cause mild GI irritation

Side effects decrease over time; hydrate well if diarrhea occurs to prevent dehydration.

Safety Advice

• Contraindicated in: Hypersensitivity to components, severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh C), inflammatory bowel disease (worsens diarrhea), or acute porphyria.

• Use caution in: Mild-moderate liver/kidney disease (reduce dose/monitor), diabetes (glucosamine may affect glycemic control), asthma (sulfite sensitivity in MSM), or shellfish allergy (choose non-shellfish glucosamine). Not for children/pregnant/breastfeeding women (Category C—limited data; avoid or use alternatives).

• Monitoring: Baseline and periodic liver function tests (every 3–6 months for Diacerein); blood glucose if diabetic; report persistent diarrhea (>5 episodes/day).

• Interactions: May enhance antidiabetic effects (monitor hypoglycemia); avoid with laxatives (worsens diarrhea). Diacerein inhibits CYP3A4 (e.g., slight interaction with statins). Inform the doctor of all supplements/medications. Limit alcohol (liver/GI risk).

• Lifestyle: Take with food; maintain a balanced diet rich in omega-3s for joint support. Discontinue if severe rash or liver symptoms occur.

Storage Conditions

Store at a temperature below 86°F (30 °C). Protect from light and moisture.
