I suffer from severe ortheoarthritis . I was prescribed Piascledine 300 while I'm already on Glucosamine Sulfate. Any harlem in that? ## These are both just nutritional supplements, not actual medications, so they haven't been tested for possible interactions, as is done with prescription drugs, so unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any information about using these together. Was the doctor that told you to take it aware that you are already on the Glucosamine? Some herbal products are safe to mix together, but some aren't. ## My doctor told me that Piascledine is a replacement for glucosamine plus Chondroitin. ## My doctor told me I can take both piascledine and glucosamnine condointrin msm ## What about leniart. Can I use it, instead of taking piascledine or gl...

I have a tub of Glucosamine Sulphate with expiry Jan 2013. Is it safe to use it still? ## From the information I've found, they just begin to lose potency after the expiration date, but aren't known to become dangerous. So, they may not be as effective as they were, when new. This is just a supplement, but the best thing you could really do would be to dispose of them and just purchase a new bottle. Are there any other questions or comments? ## I am having a packetof glucosamine 1500mg i With chondroitin 1200 mg 0f manufacturing dat 1/15 no expiry is written can i use this packet

I am suffering from osteoarthritis of knee I am prescribed celadrin capsules and kondro acute tablets. please let me know how it works in the body and its side effects and precautions if any. ## Celadrin is actually an over the counter supplement that claims to help with joint lubrication. The only ingredients they actually list are Esterified Oils, but they don't specifically say what they are. This also means that the side effect profiles have not been studied, nor have any precautions, since it is not a prescription medication. Kondro Acute contains Glucosamine and Diacerein. The Glucoasmine is another supplement of a substance naturally found in the body. The Diacerein is used as an anti-inflammatory to help treat pain and swelling. Its side effects can include: nausea, drowsine...

I'm trying to find reviews for using Relev-X for arthritis in the knees. Any info would be appreciated. ## Info on Relev-X ## You are not going to find any scientifically or medically proven information on this. Relev-X is just a nutritional supplement and while these products can make a lot of claims, they are not actually proven to work. This product contains Glucosamine, which is a substance naturally present in our joints that is believed to diminish with age, injury or health issues. The other ingredients are listed as: Fish oils, while willow bark, curcumin, licorice, boswellia, cat's claw and devil's claw. In addition, since it contains licorice, which can raise your blood pressure, it should not be used by those suffering from hypertension. Are there any other questi...

I have been having knee problems and my doctor says I have slight cartilage damage which is probably due to osteo arthritis. I am not a big fan of meds, but heard that glucosamine sulphate can be helpful in these cases. My main concern is that I have a severe allergy to Sulpha drugs ( the antibiotics ) and was wondering if the two are related in any way. I would hate to have a reaction from it. As well are there any side effects from Glucosamine sulphate. Someone said it can be hard on your stomach. Is this true? Thank you ## Hello, Elle! How are you? It is a different compound and not a sulfa drug like those that usually spark allergies, so it should be fine, but double checking with your doctor would be a great idea. As listed by the FDA, it isn't known to cause many side effects,...
