Chondroxid, gel 5% 40 g

Khondroksid® gel has a combined effect:

• delays the progression of osteoarthritis and osteochondrosis;
• has a pain relieving effect;
• powers anti-inflammatory action;
• stimulates restoration of articular cartilage;
• improves joint mobility;
• reduces joint swelling.

Due to the optimal combination of the gel components is noted their mutual reinforcement of analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects.

Application of the preparation Hondroksid ® gel can reduce the dose of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Chondroxid® contains a natural component – chondroitin sulfate (a high molecular weight mucopolysaccharide) that participates in cartilage tissue building. Chondroitin sulfate:

– improves phosphorus-calcium metabolism in cartilage;

– reduces the activity of enzymes that destroy cartilage;

– Inhibits cartilage degeneration (destruction) processes;

– stimulates synthesis of glycosaminoglycans;

– prevents collapse of the connective tissue.

This leads to a decrease in pain and increased mobility of the affected joints.

Pharmacokinetics

Chondroxid® gel is well absorbed. According to the data obtained in experimental studies on mice using radiolabeled MN chondroitin sulfate, the absorption rate of chondroitin sulfate is 14%.

Dimegil sulfoxide promotes better penetration of chondroitin sulfate through cell membranes deep into tissues.

Chondroitin sulfate after application of the preparation Chondroksid® gel to the skin is quickly and selectively delivered to the joint with the maximum concentration reached after 30 minutes and the subsequent two-phase elimination of the preparation from cartilage tissue.

The fast phase of excretion is completed one hour after application. Retention time of the drug in the joint is 5 hours.
