Uniflexin belongs to a class of medications called dietary supplements used to reduce pain, stiffness, and swelling in joints caused by osteoarthritis.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is a chronic (lifelong) joint condition in which the Glucosamine sulfate (a chemical found in the human body, especially in joints) gets reduced. This fluid is used by the body to produce other chemicals required to make ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and the thick fluid surrounding joints. When this chemical get reduces, then the cartilage breaks down and 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 osteoarthritis symptoms include pain, tenderness (discomfort when pressing on the area with fingers), stiffness, and inflammation.
