About Osicare DS Tablet

Osicare DS Tablet is used to reduce pain, stiffness, and swelling in joints caused by 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. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness.

The Osicare DS Tablet contains Glucosamine, which stimulates the formation and repair of the cartilage (the hard connective tissue that protects and covers the ends of long bones at the joints). It lubricates the joints and improves flexibility and movement. Thus, it reduces pain and swelling in the joints.
