Wakcerin-Gm 50/750/250 Tab is used to reduce the pain of osteoarthritis (OA). Osteoarthritis is a chronic (lifelong) joint condition in which glucosamine sulfate (a chemical found in the human body, especially in joints) gets reduced. When this chemical gets reduced, the cartilage breaks down and becomes thin, which causes friction between the bones, leading to wear and tear (damage) of the joint tissues. Symptoms include pain, stiffness, inflammation of the joints, and reduced locomotion.

Wakcerin-Gm 50/750/250 Tab contains Diacerein, Dimethyl sulfoxide, and Glucosamine. Diacerein slows down the breakdown of cartilage and helps to reduce pain and swelling. Dimethyl sulfoxide reduces the inflammation of the joints. Glucosamine reduces the breakdown of cartilage and helps to repair joints. Together, Wakcerin-Gm 50/750/250 Tab can lower pain, swelling, and inflammation of the joints.

Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is a chronic (lifelong) joint condition in which glucosamine sulfate (a chemical found in the human body, especially in joints) gets reduced. The body uses this fluid to produce other chemicals required to make ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and the thick fluid surrounding joints. When this chemical gets reduced, the cartilage breaks down. It becomes thin, which causes friction between the bones, leading to wear and tear (damage) of the joint tissues, leading to pain, stiffness, inflammation, and reduced locomotion.  It causes the bone 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, spine, typically at the neck or lower back. The most common symptoms of osteoarthritis include pain, tenderness (discomfort when pressing on the area with fingers), stiffness, and inflammation.
