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.

Good afternoon! At my father (78 years) an osteoarthritis of 3 tbsp. knee joint, arthritis, synovitis, tendonitis of the lateral ligaments, the cyst of the becker. The knee is very sore, barely walks. The doctor prescribed injections of Chondrolon every other day, to relieve the pain syndrome - diclofenac tablets, rubbing the knee with ointments, but nothing helps. 10 years ago he underwent heart surgery - coronary bypass surgery. We want to start taking don. Tell me, please, what other drugs are needed besides dona?

Irish, The choice of possible groups of drugs is small. First of all, basic therapy with chondroprotectors (Dona, Alflutop, Structum, Teraflex, Hondrolon and others) with long courses of 3-4 months 2 times a year.With exacerbation and the appearance of pain and inflammation in the joints, the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs Diclofenac, Voltaren, Arkoksia and others is indicated). According to the indications, one can consider injections of the last achievement of medicine for so-called liquid prostheses based on hyaluronic acid intra-articularly (Fermatron, Synvisc and other drugs), but injections of these drugs are performed in the joint without a bright inflammatory process.

Hello. I was diagnosed with grade 2 gonarthrosis.Every six months, drugs are injected into the knee, mucosate is prescribed. What is your opinion, what is better to take, this drug or Don, which is more effective?
Administrators

Irina, I generally prefer drugs based on hyaluronic acid - Fermatron, Synvisc, Ostenil. These drugs have been specifically developed for intraarticular injections and there is already a positive experience of their use in this capacity. And Don or Mukosat should be used for its intended purpose, that is, intramuscularly. Don can additionally be used as a powder inside. In this capacity, these chondroprotectors will be used more correctly.

Hello, propyl Don powder two months, felt an easy improvement, side effects did not notice.
Four months later I decided to repeat the course, but now I'm stabbing. Has done 18 pricks in the spring (from calculation to do 18 jabs in the autumn). The improvement is much better than from powders - the pain is almost gone, the crunch is the same.
Perhaps the improvement occurred, because it was injections, and possibly added to this treatment, the previous treatment, but was pleasantly surprised.
Unfortunately, after about 8 to 12 injections, the itching of the body (hives?) Started, which took place after the end of the course in 7-10 days.
Question:
Treatment with injections is much more effective, but what about the itching of the body?
Next time to do 18 injections, not paying attention to side effects (maybe it was a pure coincidence) or as a prick Don is contraindicated to me?

Alex-01Judging by the description, the drug Don in injections gave you an allergic reaction. Further use of this medication may pose a danger to health and even life, since the effect of an allergy is cumulative and what reaction it will show up in the future is unknown. You can go on the swelling of Quincke, and then there is no fact that the ambulance will be in time to reach you.I would have experimented with other injection chondroprotectors (Rumalon, Mukosat, Alflutop and others) or returned to oral forms (tablets, capsules or powders). And you correctly noticed, the effect of the action of chondroprotectors accumulative, the longer you take them, the more noticeable the effect.
Visitors
Alex-01
Thanks for the answer. In this connection, other questions arose:
1. Is there any likelihood that the powders (tablets, capsules) will also cause an allergic reaction? From the powders, as he wrote, as if I had not noticed this.
2. How similar is the effect of this drug in the form of injections and, for example, powders, i.e. what is better and lasts longer (about lidocaine in the form of injections read)?
And about the allergic reaction: I have allergic dermatitis, the result of harmful work (glass dust, harmful chemical vapors), the body itchs and for no reason, especially spring-autumn, although three years, as he quit and it is sometimes difficult to understand what was the result of body irritation (urticaria?), for example, medication (although I did not notice the drug), sunlight, or simply not because of what.
To the question asked by the dermatologist of the given enterprise (after almost three-year break): is this when it will end?
The doctor said something like this: - to avoid delving into medical details - perhaps never!
I described this in order to have a more complete and understandable picture.

MishanyaSuch a joint reception is possible. According to the instructions and from the experience of additional negative side effects when using together Piaskladin and Dona should not be.

Don in your treatment regimen can be used as a powder or tablets, or as injections. Considering the use of Piaskladin in this scheme inside, I would start piercing the Don in parallel, and then switched to the tabletted or powdered form of Dona inside.

Alex-01, If it was not observed from the powder of Dona of this side effect that it is quite possible that the allergy is not on the active substance itself, but on the solvent.
The impact will be the same for a long time. You can try to beat Alflutope, Rumalon or Mukosat, which I indicated in the previous answer, and then switch to using Don powder.Many in general use only oral forms of chondroprotectors and receive a result no worse than injections.

Professional allergy as a harmful ... It is possible that the drug is not with it, but it just went spring aggravation, but this issue must be solved internally with the attending physician, it is better than an allergist. As well as to stop arising allergic displays. Now for this a lot of different drugs, you can find the right one.

Thank you for your full and detailed response. Of course, I realized that an allergic reaction during the injections, perhaps a simple coincidence. And you have to understand yourself.
Of course I'll try carefully Don and in the form of powders, and in the form of injections and have to do it, not in the fall precisely to rule out the accident. But what if I try Alflutop, Rumalon or Mukosat, especially since Alflutope, once pierced.
Thanks again.

My mother is 86 years old. She lives outside the Russian Federation, moreover, in the countryside. Strongly refuses to go to see a doctor. She has a bad back and low backache. I bought her tablets Honda Forte and various balms, including. Honda Forte 911 with chondroitin and glucosamine, diclofenac. Is it possible for her to visit the doctor without Don's visit and poprinimat tablets or powders of Don and Arthur or something else?

tehlkhpp, From despair it is possible, harm these medicines do not bring and basically are well tolerated by patients of different ages, but you understand, if you do not guess with a diagnosis and this is not arthrosis, the treatment will not have any effect. Indirectly increase the chances of a positive outcome, if previously taken Diclofenac reduced the intensity of pain and inflammation, if not, most likely, your mother does not have arthrosis and then without an X-ray photograph of the spinal part of the spine, anything to talk about is pointless.

When I was at school, there was a trauma of the right knee: dislocation, rupture of ligaments, fracture.The operation, recovery, everything was fine, until the knee began to ache with squats and heavy loads. First a little ached a bit, then after physical education it began to hurt specifically, it was painful to climb the stairs, go down (with no pain, the pains disappeared). I pulled with a hike to the doctor for six months, then went, said arthrosis 1 degree - the consequence of the injury. Have registered Nimesan and Don + a physiotherapy. I do not observe the effect from physiotherapy, but from Dona in a month the pain in my knee went away. I do not know what will happen next, but I hope for a permanent positive result.

For 8 months, pain in the shoulder joint has not passed. About 8 years ago the right joint was ill and then the Don helped me a lot. But the desired effect did not follow. The pain continues. In the autumn she drank 40 sachets. This time the doctor prescribed only 6 injections of 2 per week. I just in case bought a sachet. The injections finished 3 days ago. Should I start drinking sachets or ask them to continue injections? The disease has lasted 8 months. 3 courses of anti-inflammatory, gymnastics and no effect.

Angelina Kozlova, It feels like doctors do not read instructions at all. They invent some exotic methods of treatment, tested drugs. Dona injections must be taken every day. 10-20 injections, depending on the degree of destruction activity, will be sufficient and then 4-6 months will be taken orally in the form of a powder.

Valya, It will help if the cartilage is destroyed. The causes of arthrosis are many, but it all comes down to the destruction of articular cartilage. Do an x-ray or MRI of the problem area and the doctor will diagnose you and prescribe a treatment, including, possibly, Dona in the presence of chondrodestructive process.

IrinaThe sum does not change from the change in the places of the summands. But I consider it reasonable to saturate the patient's body with injections of chondroprotectors, such as Don, and then maintain the level by oral intake of powders or tablets, capsules. I believe that this is more effective, but another specialist treats and cures your treatment.

Hello. At me deforming arthrosis of the left knee joint of 1 stage. The knee sometimes ached bitterly, mostly a slight aching pain with prolonged walking or walking, there was also a so-called sensation of "pulling effect" under the knee cap. The doctor has appointed or nominated to spend on drink a chondroprotector "Protect" (the big white effervescent tablets), a course of 2 months and medical gymnastics, in half a year has told or said a course to repeat. Exactly one month ago I finished taking medicine, and I continue to do gymnastics. Somewhere in the second month of taking this drug, I began to feel in the right knee joint the same symptoms as in the left knee, that is, the pulling effect. This effect, it is not strong, appears sometimes and passes, pains barely noticeable too happen and pass.I understand that in the right knee, too, began arthrosis. The only treatment now is gymnastics for arthrosis of the knee joints, I do it 6 times a week, Sunday is a day off. I feel basically normal, but for the second day in a row already, I feel small pains in both knees and this effect of contraction, these feelings do not bring much discomfort, although I felt very well before that. Maybe it's because of the weather, we have a third day, then overcast, then the sun, then rain. I have a question: is it not too small a course she appointed me to drink a chondroprotector, everywhere they write that at least 3-6 months is needed, and I had for 2 months. I'm very much afraid that this disease has not passed "on the sly" and unnoticed in the second stage? After 5 months, you need to continue treatment. You do not tell me, can replace "Protect" with some other drug, can injections of Mukosat or Don? Or continue, but not for 2 months, but for 3 or 4, for example? I have a feeling that two months of admission was not enough. I do not want this sore to progress unobserved further.

a guestAs for the Protek drug, I can not tell you anything, maybe it's a dietary supplement or something similar, I do not know such a tool. I would advise you until the initial manifestations of arthrosis (I want to believe the diagnosis is correct and confirmed by X-rays and analyzes) to undergo a standard course of injection chondroprotectors (Dona, Alflutop, etc.), and then month 4 to drink tablets, capsules or powders to fix the effect (Artra, Dona, Teraflex, Structum and others). And with arthrosis it is necessary to learn how to live, with age, the symptomatology can grow and nothing can be done radically at this level of medicine development.

Good afternoon. I pierced 18 injections of Dona in the spring from calculation to make in the autumn also 18. In the summer I went to the hospital (for 7 days, it's funny, but it's true). Where did three injections in the joint Gialgan and six injections of the Dona, and others like NSAIDs. The state of course is better. I planned to do 18 more doses in the fall, but in the hospital I already made 6 pieces (more precisely three, and three pierced at home)
Question:
1.Will not there be a lot of Dona for autumn, considering that six have already been done in the hospital?
2. And in the discharge epicrisis, Don is recommended to take in the form of tablets (last year in the form of a powder), but I do not know why I trust the injections anymore. Yes, and in the reviews I read that two courses a year, injections of 20 pieces are enough.
Can I change tablets (powder) for injections, given that the stomach is not all right?

Alex-01, Injection still does not close the necessary time window, which is reserved for chondroprotectors. Usually this is 3-4 months of continuous intake for accumulation and achieving a protective effect. Therefore, you can start with pricks, and continue with oral intake of powders, tablets, capsules. On the gastrointestinal tract the effect of chondroprotectors is minimal, so try oral administration, and if it does not, return to the injections. Injections, of course, are more effective, but a long-term injection course does not survive any fifth point. Gialgan is also a plus for your treatment.

Overdosing chondroprotectors is generally difficult.If there are no side effects during the treatment, you can stab and take for a long time.
Visitors
Alex-01
Thank you, I understood this and will act. But still for purely cognitive purposes: you write (yes I also met this warning) that a long course of injections does not survive any fifth point. But, what does this mean? It means a lot of punctures from the needle, or a lot of drugs in the ass, or both?
For example, both can be reduced by expanding the geography of the injections. Since Don is done three times a week, you can do something like this:
Monday - right buttock
Wednesday - left buttock
Friday - right thigh
Further
Monday - left hip
Wednesday - right buttock
Friday is the left buttock, and so on.
It turns out that every part of the body receives both an injection and a medicine once a week.
Administrators

Alex-01, Dona is injected according to the schedule 3 times a week for 3 ml, a course of 10-20 injections, and then switch to oral chondroprotectors. The fifth point every day of injection does not stand up, if there are many.It's only a patient to torment.

Alex-01
Thank you, and the last. Treatment courses are usually conducted in the spring and autumn, when more acute exacerbations are likely.
Question:
Is it obligatory to conduct a course of treatment only during an exacerbation or for example in the fall (or spring) you need to take a course without waiting for an exacerbation?
Or if for example there is no exacerbation in the fall (spring), then there is no reason to conduct a course of treatment?
Administrators
admin
Alex-01Treatment with the drug Don and other chondroprotectors should be regular, regardless of exacerbations, because the joint is destroyed permanently, the chondroprotectors simply slow down this destructive process. And since the treatment lasts for 3-4 months, then it is impossible to guess beyond the aggravation or during an exacerbation. Usually patients already know when they need to undergo another course of treatment and independently monitor this schedule without any reminders or appeals to doctors.

I went to the site to inquire about the reviews of Dona in powder and wanted to share my experience. In 55 years, a terrible pain in his lap, barely descended the stairs. I went to the doctor, she prescribed Arthrosan injections, which did not help at all. Diagnosis: arthrosis of the knee joint of the 2nd degree. The traumatologist advised injections at the knee joint, but I refused. The young doctor advised the drug Don. She started drinking Don in powder, drank 3 months and got the result: the pain was gone, but not completely, I can stretch my leg. And only after 2 years. I can not squat yet, but I feel much better. No side effects yet experienced. I am very grateful to the young doctor for her appointment.

7 years ago there was a dislocation.One year ago have made arthroscopy and have got the broken cartilage + the diagnosis an arthrosis (what there I do not know). I like walking and basically my knee starts to hurt after sooo long walks. But right now, in winter, it costs me 20 minutes to walk and I can not bend my knee any more. It feels like there is no lubrication in the knee, as if the bones rub against each other. Can Don help me? In advance thanks for the answer.

Natalia PetrovichJudging by the description of the problem, the basic course of chondroprotectors (to which the Don drug includes, among others) has been shown to you for a long time. It's strange why they did not prescribe medicines for this group after the diagnosis of arthrosis. And of course the medicine will help if the cartilage of the joint is kept. If there is no cartilage or it is strongly deformed, then it is worth paying attention to the synovial fluid prosthesis like Synvisc, Fermatron and others, they are injected intraarticularly to eliminate unpleasant symptoms.

Hello. My diagnosis: DOA of both knees (1-2 stages). Rheumatologist prescribed to me Artrida 20 injections (every other day) and NSAIDs Loxidol 9 injections (one injection a day). The instructions to Artrida indicate that the course should be 25-35 injections. I have 2 questions: 1) Can I buy another 10 ampoules to ensure that the course was full-fledged as in the instructions and eventually get 30 injections or do as the doctor said? And 2) Artrida should be stabbed every other day. What to do when the day of injection falls on a weekend day, on Sunday? Pass the injection and do it on Monday? Or try to do yourself))

Oleg81, Chondroprotectors like Arthrida or Dona are drugs of cumulative effect, so an additional day of admission is not critical. The course is better to choose more authentic (30 injections), then continue treatment with oral chondroprotectors to fix the effect (course 3-4 months). At the end of this long course, it will be possible to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment, again because of the cumulative effect of the drugs in this group.

What can you advise oral chondroprotectors after a course of 30 injections? If the tablets are Arthra, how many per day do they need to be taken, one or two?

Oleg81, Dona, Artra, Teraflex, Structum, you can basically use any. Teraflex Advance is not needed, it contains anti-inflammatory ibuprofen, it is taken in short-term courses with pain syndrome. If there is no doctor's recommendation, then read the instructions and look at the medicated dosages of medications in them. Take a long time, this already wrote earlier.

Tatyana, Don contains in its composition the same glucosamine as the Russian powder, and the rest can already be said prejudice. Some import preparations better help someone, someone is domestic. I prescribe imported drugs, but if the patient is limited in finances and can be treated by our patients, the effect is no worse. It is better to be treated than not to take anything.
