AFLAPIN
About
AFLAPIN belongs to the class of medications called nutritional supplements. It is primarily used to reduce the symptoms of Osteoarthritis such as joint discomfort and pain. It also improves flexibility and mobility. Osteoarthritis is a painful, degenerative, and inflammatory disease that affects synovial joints and eventually leads to loss of mobility.
Aflapin is the active component in AFLAPIN. It effectively reduces joint inflammation and pain when taken as a dietary mineral supplement. It reduces joint pain and stiffness by inhibiting the enzymes (5-lipoxygenase) that are responsible for joint pain, swelling and stiffness. It also improves flexibility, physical performance, as well as joint movement.
Take AFLAPIN as recommended. This medicine is generally safe to use. In some cases, it may cause nausea, diarrhoea, and heartburn. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. If any of the side effects persist or worsen, please consult a doctor.

Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and all the medicines you take to rule out any side effects. It is unknown whether it is safe to consume alcohol with AFLAPIN.

Habit Forming
Diet & Lifestyle Advise
- Weight is the essential connection between diet and osteoarthritis. Obesity or being overweight puts more strain on your joints. Inflammation is also caused by excess fat, which can exacerbate symptoms. Losing weight helps decrease pain and improve physical function and mobility.
- An appropriate exercise can help you manage your weight, keep your joints flexible, strengthen muscles around your joints, and offers more support.
- Heat and cold treatments can help relieve arthritis pain and inflammation.
- A diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole foods can help boost your immune system and overall health.
- Avoid a diet like a diet rich in red meat, processed foods, saturated fat, and added sugar and salt might aggravate inflammation, which is a characteristic of arthritis.
- Limit alcohol and caffeine intake and quit smoking.
