Teraflex, 500 mg+400 mg capsules 100 pcs

Teraflex is a stimulator of cartilage regeneration.

Glucosamine hydrochloride and chondroitin sulfate sodium are involved in the biosynthesis of connective tissue, helping to prevent the destruction of cartilage and stimulate tissue regeneration.

The introduction of exogenous glucosamine increases the production of the cartilage matrix and provides non-specific protection against chemical damage to the cartilage. Other possible effects of glucosamine are protection of damaged cartilage from metabolic damage caused by NSAIDs and GCS and its own moderate anti-inflammatory effect.

Chondroitin sulfate sodium serves as an additional substrate for the formation of a healthy cartilage matrix.

Stimulates the formation of hyaluronone, the synthesis of proteoglycans and type II collagen and also protects hyaluronone from enzymatic degradation (by inhibiting the activity of hyaluronidase); maintains the viscosity of synovial fluid, stimulates cartilage repair mechanisms and inhibits the activity of those enzymes (elastase, hyaluronidase) that break down cartilage. In the treatment of osteoarthritis it alleviates the symptoms of the disease and reduces the need for NSAIDs.

Indications

Degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the joints and spine:

osteoarthritis stages I–III; osteochondrosis.

Pharmacological effect

Teraflex is a stimulator of cartilage tissue regeneration.

Glucosamine hydrochloride and sodium chondroitin sulfate take part in the biosynthesis of connective tissue, helping to prevent cartilage destruction and stimulate tissue regeneration.

Administration of exogenous glucosamine enhances the production of cartilage matrix and provides nonspecific protection against chemical damage to cartilage. Another possible effect of glucosamine is the protection of damaged cartilage from metabolic destruction caused by NSAIDs and corticosteroids, as well as its own moderate anti-inflammatory effect.

Chondroitin sulfate sodium serves as an additional substrate for the formation of a healthy cartilage matrix.

Stimulates the formation of hyaluronon, the synthesis of proteoglycans and type II collagen, and also protects hyaluronon from enzymatic breakdown (by suppressing the activity of hyaluronidase); maintains the viscosity of synovial fluid, stimulates cartilage repair mechanisms and inhibits the activity of those enzymes (elastase, hyaluronidase) that break down cartilage. In the treatment of osteoarthritis, it relieves the symptoms of the disease and reduces the need for NSAIDs.
