Anoscha Forte Tablet is used to treat Osteoarthritis. It contains Chondroitin, Diacerein, and Glucosamine. Glucosamine and Chondroitin are the building blocks of cartilage. These two components protect chondrocytes, the cells that help maintain cartilage structure. They provide long-lasting pain relief and slow down the degeneration changes of joints. They further support the elasticity and strength of the joints. Diacerein (diacerhein or diacetylrhein) is an anthraquinone derivative that reduces inflammation and cartilage destruction. It is also used to correct the altered osteoblast (cells that build bone) activity.

About Anoscha Forte Tablet

Anoscha Forte Tablet is used to treat inflammation and pain in osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering of cartilage (the connective tissue that cushions the joints). Without this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness.

Anoscha Forte Tablet consists of three supplements: Chondroitin, Diacerein, and Glucosamine. Glucosamine and Chondroitin are the building blocks of cartilage. These two components protect chondrocytes, the cells that help maintain cartilage structure. They provide long-lasting pain relief and slow down the degeneration changes of joints. They further maintain the elasticity and strength of the joints. Diacerein (diacerhein or diacetylrhein) is an anthraquinone derivative that reduces inflammation and cartilage destruction. It is also used to correct the altered osteoblast (cells that build bone) activity.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Osteoarthritis: It is a degenerative joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering of cartilage. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms of osteoarthritis include pain, stiffness, inflammation, and tenderness. The main reason for osteoarthritis is age; the older you are, the more likely you could get osteoarthritis, thus known as degenerative disease, meaning that the joints wear out as a person ages. Other reasons include past injuries, such as torn cartilage, dislocated joints, and ligament injuries.
