Reaqua Capsule is used in the treatment of knee pain due to osteoarthritis in patients who have failed to respond adequately to simple painkillers or physical therapy and exercise. 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.

Reaqua Capsule contains Sodium hyaluronate, which works by restoring synovial fluid in the knee that helps to lubricate and cushion the joint during movement. Thus, it reduces pain.

Take Reaqua Capsule as prescribed. You are advised to use it for as long as your doctor has recommended it for you based on your medical condition. It is generally safe to use and does not cause any side effects. However, if you experience any unusual side effects, inform your doctor.

If you are allergic to Sodium hyaluronate or any other medicines, inform your doctor before taking Reaqua Capsule. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, inform your doctor before taking Reaqua Capsule. Reaqua Capsule is not recommended for children and adolescents below 18 years. If you have kidney, liver or heart problems, inform your doctor before taking Reaqua Capsule.

Osteoarthritis: It is a degenerative joint disease that occurs when the concentration of sodium hyaluronate in joints decreases. Hyaluronic acid is found in the joints, which lubricates and provides a cushion between two bones. When Hyaluronic acid gets reduced, it causes the bones to rub together, leading to pain, stiffness, and other osteoarthritis symptoms. This disease can occur in any joint, but commonly affected areas of the body are hands, fingertips, knees, hips, and spine, typically at the neck or lower back. The most common osteoarthritis symptoms include pain, tenderness (discomfort when pressing on the area with fingers), stiffness, and inflammation. 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 a past injury such as torn cartilage, dislocated joints and ligament injuries.
