Dona - instructions for use, reviews, analogs and forms of release (powder and solution for intramuscular injection in ampoules) for the treatment of arthrosis and periarthritis in adults, children and pregnancy

In this article, you can read the instructions for using the drug Don. Presented are reviews of visitors to the site - consumers of this medication, as well as opinions of doctors of specialists on the use of Dona in their practice. A big request is to actively add their feedback on the drug: the medicine helped or did not help get rid of the disease, which were observed complications and side effects, possibly not declared by the manufacturer in the annotation. Analogues of the Don in the presence of existing structural analogs. Use for the treatment of arthrosis, periarthritis and other diseases of the musculoskeletal system in adults, children, as well as during pregnancy and lactation.

 

Don - a drug that affects the metabolism in cartilaginous tissue.

 

Glucosamine sulfate is a salt of a natural ammonomonosaccharide of glucosamine, physiologically present in the human body, with a low molecular weight, carefully purified from macromolecular components. Dona replenishes the endogenous deficiency of glucosamine, stimulates the synthesis of proteoglycans and hyaluronic acid synovial fluid. Increases the permeability of the joint capsule, restores enzymatic processes in the cells of the synovial membrane and articular cartilage. Promotes the fixation of sulfur during the synthesis of chondroitinsulfuric acid, facilitates the normal deposition of calcium in bone tissue. It inhibits the development of degenerative processes in the joints, restores their function, reducing joint pain. Sulfates also participate in the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans and the metabolism of cartilage tissue. Sulphate esters of side chains in proteoglycans are of great importance for maintaining the elasticity and ability to retain the water of the cartilage matrix.

 

Reduction of clinical symptoms is usually manifested after 2 weeks from the beginning of treatment with preservation of clinical improvement within 8 weeks after discontinuation of the drug.

Love of VC, And why in a question not to write diseases for which treatment you want to use these methods, this would simplify the consideration of the issue. I will answer in general terms.

These procedures have clear indications for treatment. For example, for extracorporeal shock wave therapy it is: tendopereopathy of the upper and lower poles of the patella, bursitis, enthesis of knee joint ligaments. At the extreme stages of the development of the pathological process, they are very effective, although the cases of their use are quite rare due to the narrow specificity and rare spread of these diseases among people. I used this technique to treat the calcaneal spur, when another therapy (medication and physiotherapy) did not help.The effect was, but more methods did not remain for cure, as the last measure is quite satisfied.

Excuse me, please, I wrote my diagnosis in the questionnaire, I thought enough. I have idiopathic bilateral gonarthrosis of the 2nd stage, suprapatellar bursitis of the knee joints, combined flatfoot, tendonitis of the medial ligament of the knee joints, Baker's cyst of the left knee joint (small). There are no pains, only when descending from the stairs (sometimes), the knees do not swell, there is a crunch in the joints, but so far, infrequently. The doctor besides tablets and ointments (Arkoksia, Deep gel, Chondroxide cream, Don's injections, Geladrinka powder, Artrodarin, Arthrofoon, Dimexid compress - treatment is designed for 4 months) recommended:
- FTL-ultrasound with hydrocortisone,
- introduction into the joint of the synovial fluid Fermatron,
- plasmolifting,
- extracorporeal shock-wave therapy.
On this occasion, a question was asked about plasma-lifting and shock-wave therapy.
Once again I apologize for the wrong question.

Love of VCIt's okay, but now the situation is clear. What I want to say on the treatment, given the availability of such a number of diagnoses, medical treatment is selected competently, it is a combination that can only be welcomed.

About physio-and additional treatment:
1) FTL with hydrocortisone - not bad
2) There are both supporters and opponents of the technique about Fermatron, too, the drug is not long in the market, so that it can be unequivocally said about its effectiveness. I do not use my own practice
3) plasmolifting - it's more like a cosmetology procedure that I would not use to treat problems like yours
4) The ESVT in your situation can be considered a justified appointment and it is worth it.

Good day! At me a question of following character - whether pressure rises after injections of a preparation? Twice they gave Mom injections and both times after taking the pressure. She's hypertensive. We do not know what to connect the rise of pressure. The instructions do not indicate a similar reaction to the drug. Maybe this is due to the fact that she takes Betalock Zok? (this is a beta-blocker?)

Love of VC
Many thanks for such an extensive and understandable answer! I, too, was embarrassed by plasma lift for the same reason. Thanks again!

NaTaSHa_15, I can admit only idiopathic individual reaction of your mother to taking Don's drug. In standard situations, such a side effect as an increase in blood pressure in this drug is not seen.

You can also think of the stressful situation that the injection of the medicine brings. Patients (most often psychasthenics) seeing the syringe and feeling the prick react to it by increasing the pressure, then you can compare this situation with other injections of the drug, at worst introduce ordinary water for injections, instead of the drug and track the change in pressure numbers.

Betalok also does not lead to an increase in pressure on the background of taking Dona - this drug reduces blood pressure.

Tell me please, I was diagnosed with osteochondrosis c5, c6 with c7 and protrusions of the discs. Have appointed or nominated nyxes.After the fourth injection, the chest became heavier and chest ache, as if the bones hurt before that, too, but it did not bake, at night it was hard to breathe, pressure and heart bubbled.

LyudaAnd what is the point of such a replacement. If there are any side effects, then such a replacement must be agreed with the attending physician, since in your "etc." can hide much. And if there are no side effects, then it makes no sense to change one chondroprotector (good) to another (also good).

Irina1970
Hello! I am 45 years old. Disturb pain in the cervical region. We started to grow dumb.
The district therapist has appointed: 1. Trental №10; 2.Octopilen 600 mg №10; 3.Milgama №10; 4.Massage; 5. Ultrasound with hydrocortisone. I did not send MRI.
Treatment started on 30.07. The massage was started after the 3rd dropper.
The hands did not stop being numb, but after the last dropper 12.08. the last ultrasound and the 6th time massage on the morning of 13.08. barely slid off the couch.
Promuchavshis 3 days, independently went to the MRI (though lying on the back seat, because tolerate even the slightest pitching machine was impossible).
Conclusion MRI:
MR-signs of osteochondrosis of the cervical spine, unko-vertebral arthrosis C6-C7. Hernia of intervertebral discs C5-6, C6-7 with compression of the spinal cord, central stenosis of the spinal canal, narrowing of the dural space. Hemangioma of vertebra Th5.
Consultation of the vertebrologist is recommended.
Having come to horror, at once also vertebrologa has found on the Internet though earlier at all did not hear this word.
Vertebrologist said that especially the problem with hernia c5-c6, everything else is tolerable. I prescribed treatment, having looked, that to me already prokapali before:
1.Short Collar
2. Physis of r 0.9% 200,0, Euphilin 2,4% -10, Dexamethasone 4 mg, in / in - №3
3.Midokalm 1.0 in / m №10
4. Lidase 64 units in / m №10
5. Algerika 75mg (1t) at night
6.E / fozes with magnesia on the collar zone №10
7.Ksefokam 8mg in / m №5
I do 2 days. Improvements of course, there are, but you cough, sneeze, or just, something loudly say, strains the neck muscle to the right and gives to the collarbone.
The vertebrologist said that if this treatment helps, then for two months begin drinking Don 6 weeks.
1. Is it possible in my case to do without an operation and what for this it is necessary to do throughout life to maintain what is left of the neck and not to worsen the situation.
2. Could the wrong treatment of the district doctor (described above) provoke such an aggravation?
3. And is it shown to me when I'm diagnosed?
4. Is it possible in my case at all to once do a massage and go to the manual therapist?
Sorry that I wrote a lot, but I want to make it easier for you to understand my problem. Thanks in advance.

Irina1970The detailed writing of the problem is good. To say that your district doctor gave you the wrong treatment is impossible. It is quite adequate and the vertebrologist has already been easier, given the preliminary course. In addition, you are now undergoing a course of treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs (the district doctor did not have this) and they give you a strong analgesic effect, so that it will show the time after the end of the course of treatment.

Massage and manual therapy - it all depends on the technique of execution, I do not trust manual laborers, adequate specialists have not yet come across, someone better from their manipulation, someone worse, but so that a 100% positive effect - has not yet seen, but the case again in the specialist.Massage as a whole I approve and at your status he is useful, the expert the hack, not necessary is necessary.

Don, I would start taking it now, it will not be superfluous in this scheme of therapy. You can say this is a basic therapy for weakening the phenomena of osteochondrosis in the cervical region. Intervertebral joints from this drug will only be better.

As for the operation - it's all to profile specialists, they look at the picture, not its description and decide whether to take the operation or not, and whether this operation will bring any positive effect to the patient. If the operation is not needed, nobody will do it.

Thanks for the quick response! Yes, the district police officer appointed a useful treatment for blood vessels. But before the treatment began, there was a dull, aching pain, giving in the right shoulder blade and numbness of the right arm (this did not stop me from going to work and somehow normally move), and after treatment - acute pain, tetanus in the movements and loss of ability to work. I sin on the wrong massage. And maybe my illness just got ripe by this time.

Today "I drip and knee" on the appointment of the vertebrologist for the third day.There is improvement, but for some reason the pain gave to the right shoulder blade, now it has passed to the right clavicle and even slightly to the left (with tension) and it is very painful to cough.

Tell me, but Don drink 2 times a year for life? If so, is it necessary to sweat again before each dose of Donna and how to prevent and treat the treatment? Or in my case it's enough to drink for 6 weeks and that's it?

And yet, in the pharmacy, I did not find Algerik this packing (75 mg) and bought it on the advice of the pharmacist Lirik (75 mg). Is it norms? And how much it should be drunk also for 10 days, because vertebrolog in the appointment did not mark, but I did not notice?

Irina1970, Perhaps the massage triggered an exacerbation or just coincided. Now it will be difficult to establish, but I would have replaced the masseur just in case.

Don enough to drink courses for 2-3 months 2 times a year. You do not need to take anything beforehand, except that a specialist (vertebrologist or neurologist) advises you for the back and cervical vertebrae.

Algeria and Lyrics similar drugs for the active substance and both imported, so no matter what you will take - complete analogs.The course in 10 days will be quite enough.

Thank you Doctor!
The question is that I did not overdo it. I have not removed the collar of Shantz for a week (only to wash). Even I sleep in it, although it is not very convenient, but when I take pictures, it seems even worse. Moreover, at night you do not control your movements, you can forget yourself and turn sharply. Today I read in the internet that it can not be worn for long, this muscle is weakened even more and can be harmed.

To wear constantly and in techn what time? Or it is necessary to periodically remove?
Administrators

Irina1970, I do not use such exotics as the Shantz collar, so ask the specialist who appointed you. It is better to do medical gymnastics, the complex of physiotherapy procedures to go through, be treated with medicines - the effect will be more obvious.

I work at the computer. Pain in the right shoulder began. At first I did not pay attention, I thought it would pass. But as a result, a shoulder-shoulder periarthritis was used. Movement is limited, I can not lift my arm.Inflammatory process was removed by injections of Diclober. I underwent magnetotherapy, stimulation, cryotherapy, I finish the laser and turpentine baths. I would like to consult about the drug Don. How effective will the result be with my diagnosis. Also I have osteochondrosis of the cervical and thoracic parts. Frequent headaches at night (after sleep).

Intervertebral hernia, cervical spleen. Constant lumbago and neck on the head did not allow to live. Kolo Don 1p in half a year and the first 2 years almost did not get better. In the third year, she was pricked 8 months later, after 1 year, and no longer stabbed after 5 years. And now I'm not staking for 3 years. The back begins to ache a bit. We must start again. Dona has a cumulative effect. And it should be stabbed for at least 5 years. And so on until the end of his years. She brought me to life!

The problem can be complex and besides traumatic joint arthrosis there can be a layering of neurological symptoms (nerves were injured), in this case, the treatment of the Dona can be shown (if there is arthrosis), but it will be inadequate and soreness will persist. Address to the rheumatologist and the neurologist for the further consultation.

But I do not understand why this child needs all this. If he is a professional sportsman, then they have a completely different pharmacology, and if an amateur is to maim himself for what.

At me MRT has shown a degenerate damage of an internal meniscus. Gonarthrosis of 2-3 degrees. Synovitis. On both feet. Discharged treatment - injections Amelotex, Don 12 injections through day 20 Hondrogard injections through day pill Struktum, Sirdalud tablets, pills Calcemin. Another doctor looked up and said that they had written out a lot of what was needed and not needed.And now I am in doubt. What to take? It's problematic for a doctor to get on - I'm moving on crutches. And I'm afraid to take Don - I have atrial fibrillation. What should I do?

55555, Chondrogard, Structum and Don can not be taken at the same time, in this case oil-oil is obtained, since the effect and composition of the preparations are similar. I would stretch their reception linearly - first I pierced Don's injections, after Hondrogaard and completed this cycle with the reception of the Structum tablets. Otherwise, I see no contradictions in the treatment regimen, only Sirdalud need not be taken together with antiarrhythmic drugs, as they compete in the body for the same enzyme responsible for the cleavage of these drugs. At the arrhythmia, nothing should be affected negatively.

Hello. Damage to the posterior horn of the medial meniscus is a 3 degree in Stoller with an adjacent paramenex cyst 3.3-2.3-0.9 with the presence of internal septa. On November 13, they underwent surgery, the cyst was not removed at the discretion of the surgeon. wassat why? Also what with her further? Disturb the pain behind the knee, the sensation of strong tension and pain in the leg as after cramps. The doctor prescribed joint injections and fizio, but I think about the drug Donna, I live in an ancient run around clinics, there is no possibility and no strength. On the hands the child is disabled. How to help the joint. While applying chondroitin, tincture of a golden mustache in the form of a compress.

njgbfhbq, You will not disassemble this problem online. Why the surgeon has not removed - this he sees more when he climbs inside the joint. Sometimes there is a completely different picture compared to what is seen on x-rays or ultrasound. So there's nothing to comment on.

And intraarticular injections judging by the description of the problem you are more shown than Dona or Chondroitin. Although with the presence of arthrosis or other degenerative diseases of the articular cartilage is shown the inclusion of them in the treatment regimen.

nika4455If appointed twice a day, it is logical to take the drug Don in the morning and evening, at about the same time. Of course, it is interesting that 2 sachets a day are prescribed - usually 1 packet is prescribed 1 time per day. Maybe because of this, your stomach rebelled. I can not change the treatment regimen, but I would try a single dose and if everything normalizes with the stomach, consult a doctor who prescribes the drug to change the treatment regimen or change the drug if an increased intake of glucosamine is shown than recommended by the instruction.

Hello! admin, Thanks for the answer. Perhaps, the increased dose of taking 2 packets is due to the fact that I had a 3-ankle fracture of the leg with the installation of metal plates. Currently, the plates are removed. The course of treatment was as follows: 10 ampoules of mucosate every other day, and a month for 2 bags of Dona. In some instructions it is written to take while eating, in others - 20 minutes before meals. Tell me, please, how to correctly take it and after what time is the assimilation of its body.

In 2001 in the Moscow polyclinic I was given a prescription for don. I bought 2 standards. On day 14 (1 bag in the morning), she began to die ... blood blew from her face, that she did not sweat, there was no diarrhea. Her complexion was gray-earthy, she went to the polyclinic, she thought she would stagger to the side, under the wheels, she was not sure of herself, she was afraid of losing coordination, dizziness. It seemed the insides from under the ribs climbed, did not dare to continue to drink. In short, a month, after all the surveys, probing, light bulbs, etc. At me the diagnosis - an inflammation of a cholic bubble and focal pancreatonecrosis. I barely managed to get out, but with what losses! Saw only grass. She read about them and tried them. Doctors appointed a new portion of medicines and bada. Remained alive, but still do not eat milk and dairy products, herring and sprat sprat, immediately instant diarrhea. I swell with boiled vegetables, boiled beets, vinaigrette, bread. Prior to eating, Dona did not know anything like that. People! this is all a deception, a poison. Do not accept the don. Think about how many indications, and how many contraindications, and even side effects.And yet, so that through the stomach got into the articular cartilage how much this muck needs to be consumed? Kilograms! And what will happen to you from her! Do not ruin the remnants of your health. Sincerely, Olga.

nika4455, Absorption of the drug Don, like most chondroprotectors, does not depend on food intake. Therefore, some instructions will take this medication before meals, and in others after - both are correct. And in your diagnosis I do not see anything extraordinary, it especially relates to the joints indirectly. So I would recommend switching to the recommended dose of 1 packet per day, let's say after a meal. If the stool does not return to normal, consult a doctor to replace the drug.

Kolu Don for several years, the results are excellent, the joints are restored slowly, but surely. But in periods of winter cold and bad weather there are exacerbations, aching joints, everything is twisting, pulling, horror as it hurts. The doctor at the next admission advised after the course to do a shake of the same Dona - once a week, to stop the exacerbations.How do you feel about this advice?

RK, It looks like an exacerbation. It is worth poprinimat non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for the period of exacerbation, to remove puffiness and pain, and Don to continue to take at the same time. Chondroprotectors in chondrodestructive diseases are a basic therapy, there is no one-stage improvement in such treatment, the accumulation period must pass.

I've been seeing a surgeon for two years with my coxarthrosis. Previously, prescribed injections like Alflutop 20 pcs once every six months and physiotherapy (did not help at all), and at the last appointment the doctor prescribed a pill for 3 months. Really help! Approximately a month later the pain decreased. There were no side-effects.

And I've been healing for two months, I've pierced 18 injections and drank 2 packets of powders, but there are no shifts, it feels like everything has risen, neither worse nor better. Probably I am a little treated, I will drink powders further, I will look or see, that will be.

Previously, there were sudden dizziness, sometimes it was impossible to walk for a week, it was hard to do sports, you were slightly overexerted - immediately your head was spinning and vomiting, you can not stand dizziness at all. She drank Don with the course - three months. I'm 100% satisfied! No more dizziness.

Good afternoon! I have osteoarthritis, legs and hip joints ache, after loads on my left leg I can not get up in the evening, and in the hip pain area - I can not sleep without pills. Has made a roentgen: a basin, legs or foots. The diagnosis of all images: bone-destructive and degenerative changes is not determined. In pelvic bones, a rounded section of osteosclerosis measuring 12 mm in diameter in the head of the right femur is determined, and osteophytes in the region of the large trochanter of the right femur. (Conclusion: Trochanet sp, osteosclerosis, thigh thigh). Ankle joint: on the lower surface of the calcaneus, in the place of attachment of the plantar aponeurosis, spiny calcifications are noted. By appointment of a doctor in November, December 2015 pierced: mucosate 1ml - 30 injections, kombilipen 20 injections, arthrosan 5 injections. It was necessary to continue treatment: teraflex - 6 months.After the reception, headaches began, and stopped drinking. Can you please tell me whether instead of teraflex in April 2016, pierce arthrosan 3 injections, mucosate 30 injections, dona (the number of instructions), combi 10 injections, and so every fall and spring? I will be grateful for your recommendations. Yours faithfully Zinoviev Natalia Dmitrievna.

n769797Instead of Teraflex, it is possible to use other chondroprotectors - Don, Structum, Arthra, etc. Mukosat also applies to this basic therapy, you can use Alflutop. This is basic therapy. And if something does not go, then it is realistic to find a substitute for this huge group of drugs.

In other respects, the course of treatment should contact the doctor who will follow you and correct the treatment if necessary. For example, I appoint my patient to Arthrosan only with the development of inflammation, why should I simply prescribe it unnecessarily. Heel spurs are well suited to anesthesia by laser physiotherapy.

OlgaIf the basic physical properties of the solution have not changed - color, density, absence of flakes, then you can use the drug Don and after freezing. I understand that the solution did not turn into ice during the time of low temperatures? Then everything should be fine.

For 10 years I suffer with arthrosis and arthritis of the joints of the hands, shoulders and hip joints. I tried many drugs - only alflutope, arkoxia and don help really.To date, I drank the dona's course in powders for 40 days, after 3 weeks the pains went away, the swelling was asleep, the soul rejoices! I recommend don, only take the instructions and the effect is expected no earlier than 3-4 weeks.

Hello! Tell me, please, why not take the drug during lactation? The child is almost a year old. Prior to pregnancy, she was given a course of powder and injections. Than now the powder can do much harm to the kid? Thank you in advance.

LenashehWhat can be harmful to the preparation of Don during feeding I do not know, in the instruction there are no detailed instructions. It seems to me that this is a relative contraindication, that is, there is not enough clinical data on the use of this drug in lactation, therefore there is a contraindication. In this case, the decision is made by the doctor, according to the patient's state of health and the real need for using the drug in the treatment.

Don drank a few years ago, according to the appointment of a neurologist. I have intervertebral hernias, as well as problems with joints. I drank a long time. The doctor directly imposed this "miracle drug" on me. It's disgusting even to remember that time. It's a pity time, money spent on is not clear that. Also my poor stomach (heaviness, nausea). It would be better to eat chalk. The sense would be much more. It's a pity to retire (it's already scanty) spent on it. Some "clever" simply cash in on someone else's misfortune! I will not drink it in my life and will not let anyone close to me. Better clay to eat!

Diagnosed: damage to the medial meniscus of the right knee joint. I pierced the don 12 punctures. If there are no pain, suggested to do arthroscopy? I'm all in doubt worth it or not? Tell me please if it is not done what could be the consequences? And after surgery I'm afraid suddenly it will be worse.

meriIf X-rays and ultrasound joints did not help diagnose problems, then arthroscopy is indicated. Here it is not up to you to decide, but to the attending physician. Go to another specialist, preferably a rheumatologist, he understands more in joints, with the results of research and analysis, perhaps you will have another qualified opinion and then it will be easier to make a decision to everyone, including you.

Hello. I really need advice. A spouse has arthrosis of the hip joints. Have pierced in March a preparation of Don, pains have almost passed or have already taken place. In the complex was taken with teraflex. The second course should be stabbed from July 8, but the spouse fell and pains resumed in the left leg. Can we begin to prick Donna's course earlier, tk. he very well helps or assists?
Administrators

Nata189456, You can start the second course of Dona earlier. This basic therapy for arthrosis and breaks between courses can be reduced. Take this chondroprotector with another (Teraflex), indicated in the question, I do not see much sense,better save the second protector for the next course and alternate: the course of treatment one course to the other.

If the husband falls, it is worth paying attention to possible injuries and fractures, in which the drug Don may not give the expected effect. Probably, it is necessary to address in this occasion to the attending physician for inspection.

Is it true that in the US drugs of chondroitin are not considered medicines since their Ministry of Health did not come to the conclusion that they have a curative effect? Because of the scanty, on the scale of the body, the amount, i.e. after taking 1-2 grams per day, supposedly this dose is not able to have an effect ....

dmitry dx, I have heard such stories for a long time, but no one has denied or denied any refutations or studies to the contrary, including the US supervisory bodies (they do not have the Ministry of Health responsible for medicines). In the USA, chondroprotectors are also used as a basic therapy for chondrodestructive diseases. This, at present, is the standard for the treatment of such diseases.

I go through the full course of treatment and stabbing acupuncture, according to the scheme (in the hospital), such drugs: traumel, target t, discus, cerebrum, placenta and Don. In addition to Dona - all homeopathy. But three days after the beginning of treatment, terrible pains in the stomach begin (only injections help).

Question to the doctor on the way the drug is used. Is it necessary at first, as it is written in the instruction to type ampoule B, and then ampoule A? I did the opposite wrong, that is, first I took a solution of the drug 2 ml of light-protective glass, and then I took a solvent from the ampoule B.

"Is it true that in the US drugs of chondroitin are not considered medicines since their Ministry of Health did not come to the conclusion that they have a curative effect?"
+++ All is true and this is not "history." What prevents to go to the site of the National Medical Library of the United States and read first-hand? There, and medical articles are about the application, and studies on the effectiveness of treatment with glucosamine and chondroitin.
In general, they are food supplements, not medicine. Statistics (16 medical centers, 3 years and $ 16 million spent on data collection) indicate that there is no question of any effectiveness, the result is either meager (at the level of error) or there is none at all. Moreover, it was even noted that in some cases in the control group of patients who did not take glucosamine and chondroitin, the development of arthrosis was slower! Efficacy was assessed according to two criteria: removal of pain and speed of degradation of the joint itself (reduction of the lumen on the roentgen for the year). There have also been studies on the effectiveness of Piascladin - absolutely no good. These are facts. Sad, but that is. In total I read 72 articles and medical labor of foreign scientists and doctors.

Inzira, Dona with rheumatoid arthritis is not applied, there other mechanisms of action and reception will not bring proper relief. Your mother needs to consistently select a rheumatologist for treatment of arthritis, based on the individual characteristics of the course of the disease in this particular patient. There is no other way.

In the English Wikipedia, there is an article "Clinical trials on glucosamine and chondroitin", which says:
In 2006, the US National Institute of Public Health (US NIH) funded a 24-week, $ 12.5 million multicenter clinical trial to study the effects of chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine hydrochloride, chondroitin / glucosamine in combination, and celecoxib as a knee pain medication in two groups patients with knee osteoarthritis: patients with mild pain (n = 1229), and also in patients with moderate to severe pain (n = 354). [24] When data from both groups were pooled and analyzed, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups taking glucosamine HCl, chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine / chondroitin, and those taking an inactive placebo.
British Medical Journal: Compared to placebo, glucosamine, chondroitin, and their combinations do not reduce joint pain and do not affect the narrowing of the joint space. Health authorities and health insurance companies should not cover the costs of these drugs.
In 2012, the US Food and Drug Administration (U.S.The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has retained its position that there is no conclusive scientific evidence to support the dependence of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate consumption and a reduction in the risk of osteoarthritis, joint degeneration, and cartilage damage.
Also, in the US, drugs with these substances are classified not as drugs, but as nutritional supplements.

I want to share the result from the use of drugs from Don and Alflutop. I have coxarthrosis, arthritis of the knees and ankle. I took according to the scheme: 12 injections of the Don for 1 injection every other day, then 20 injections of Alflutope every day, parallel to 10 nicks of milgamma, 6 months of sawing Arthra and once a quarter for a month calcemin plus preparations from veins. This pattern I repeat 2 times a year except for Artra, the result is happy.

At me an osteochondrosis, how much myself I remember. Six months ago, my left leg became very bad, its back part. Over time, the pain intensified from the buttock to the foot. Work sedentary at the computer, in the evening from work I go, having compressed a teeth from a pain.In May she made CT scan, diagnosis - osteochondrosis, dysplastic spondylarthrosis PKOP, herniated disc L5-S1, protrusion of disk L4-L5. The doctor prescribed a dropper with a bunch of drugs, injections of Don and Movalis. Improvements any. In August, she again did injections of Dona, as well as physiotherapy: pulse and ultrasound, passed a course of massage. Again there is no result. I read here in the reviews that Don is taken for several months, injections are also long. But for some reason, one doctor prescribed injections for 10 days, the second in general for 5 days. Maybe because of this no effect?
Administrators

MLavrovaPerhaps the Dons have appointed you a little. Usually after injection forms (the duration of use of which is 20 days, but it is possible and more), tableted forms of chondroprotectors (capsules, tablets or powders inwards) are prescribed and these forms take 2-3 months for a long time, with courses twice a year. But for the removal of acute pain syndrome, other means are used - non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (the same Movalis, Diclofenac and other drugs), muscle relaxants (Tolperisone, Midokalm and other medicines).

I heard from one woman how she was treated for arthrosis - she injected the injections of Don and Alflutop for a year, simultaneously saw Arthra for six months and speaks with 3 tbsp. already put her 1 tbsp. but wanted to do the operation, I want to try to stab me with a year. Can that turn out. Has anyone done a shock-wave physio? They say very well.
Administrators

Shevchenko, Classics, chondroprotectors long courses and here it is an improvement. And shock wave therapy can help in resorption of osteophytes (bone growths and thorns near the joint), which can cause additional pain to the patient during movement. To reverse the arthrosis itself, this technique, unfortunately, can not.

Vasil, The reason for your suffering is flatfoot, so the orthopedist has written out the most rational thing that is now in his arsenal - orthopedic insoles for correction of violations. This element well helps to relieve the spine and joints with existing foot defects.

Don can be used to treat destructive changes in cartilage. Minimally X-ray of the joints in which pain is felt, plus a biochemical analysis of the rheumatologic profile, if there are chondrodestructive changes, then the drug is taken, and I do not see the drug application points and it is unlikely to help you.

Hello dear Admin! After reading your answers, I realized that the cartilage does not collapse and stop the degree of development of arthrosis, you need to drink and chop chondroprotectors. And if I'm 30 years old and I have 0-1 stage. There is a crunch in the joints, but there is absolutely no pain. Then it goes to me all my life you need to take these drugs? It goes without saying. And if I do everything correctly, then is it really to pass to my old age with my joints? Thank you!
Administrators
admin
Alexey Pestov, Yes, you all understood correctly. If you take courses of chondroprotectors, protect your limbs from overloads and injuries, give metered physical exertion (swimming, bicycling, but not jogging or strength exercises), then you can quite reach your final joints. Of course, all people are different and some processes of destruction go quickly, but this recommendation will in any case prolong the life and health of the cartilage.

I drink already 3-rd month and only this preparation has removed or has taken off to me pains, edemas and has given the chance to go.

I have protrusions in the lumbar spine and aching ankle joints. Particularly concerned about the ankle joint on the right foot after fracture of the ankle, swollen and deformed. Please tell me whether it is possible to inject Don's solution for more than 6 weeks. I already pierced 18 injections and would like 24 more injections (not to take powders or tablets), because I believe that injections are more effective and do not irritate the gastric mucosa. There are problems with the stomach.

dthnt, hjkju, You can still inject. Although still the required course for several months, you will not pass by one injection. In Don, lidocaine is contained, which can adversely affect the heart for prolonged use, plus a priest may not be able to withstand such a number of injections.

Love, You can continue the course of treatment with Don, optimally until 3-4 months, then break half a year and repeat the course, and then evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment. Chondroprotectors are drugs of cumulative effect and take them in long courses.
