About Joint Well Tablet

Joint Well Tablet is a combination medicine primarily used to treat osteoarthritis and its associated symptoms. Osteoarthritis is a joint condition in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage. It causes friction between the bones leading to wear and tear (damage) of the joint tissues. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, inflammation, and reduced locomotion. Joint Well Tablet relieves pain, thereby improving joint function and restoring quality of life. It also increases the cushioning and lubrication of joints.

Joint Well Tablet contains Glucosamine and Chondroitin. Glucosamine is used by the body to produce various chemicals responsible for building ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and the thick fluid surrounding joints. Chondroitin restricts the action of a protein responsible for causing inflammation and destruction of cartilage in osteoarthritis. It also provides elasticity. Both in combination help in the formation of cartilage (the soft tissue that cushions the joints) and make the joints lubricated for better movement and flexibility.

Take Joint Well Tablet as prescribed by your doctor. You are suggested to take Joint Well Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as headache, tiredness, nausea, abdominal pain, indigestion, diarrhoea, constipation, and wind. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Avoid taking Joint Well Tablet if you are allergic to any of its components. Inform your doctor if you have impaired glucose tolerance, kidney or liver dysfunction, heart (cardiovascular) disease, or asthma. Joint Well Tablet is not recommended for children younger than 18 years. Consult with your doctor if you have ever had blood clots or circulation problems in your legs, if you are pregnant, planning to be pregnant, or breastfeeding. People with joint infection or skin disease in the affected area should consult a doctor before taking Joint Well Tablet .

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Turmeric and fish oils can help in reducing inflammation in the tissue.

  • Please do not go for heavy exercise as it may increase your joint pain in arthritis. Instead, you can do stretching, low impact aerobic exercises like walking on a treadmill, bike riding, and swimming. You can also strengthen your muscle by lifting light weights.

  • Include fish like salmon, trout, tuna, and sardines. These fishes are enriched with omega-3 fatty acids that contain the minimum level of a chemical called cytokines, which ramp up inflammation.

  • Your sitting posture is important, especially when you have pain and inflammation conditions. Try to sit little as possible. Use back support like a rolled-up towel at the back of your curve to minimize pain. Keep your knees and hips at a right angle. Besides this, you can use a footrest if required.

  • To achieve the best results, it is strongly recommended to remain physically active as much as your condition allows.

  • Adopting a healthy lifestyle coupled with a high proteins diet is the mainstay of managing arthritic conditions.
