Pharmacological action
Theraflex ® Chondrocrem Forte has a combined effect: it slows down the progression of osteoarthritis and osteochondrosis, has an analgesic effect, increases the volume of joint movement (in the area of applying the cream), has an anti-inflammatory effect, reduces joint swelling.
Due to the optimal combination of cream components, there is a mutual strengthening of their analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects.
Chondroitin sulfate is a high-molecular mucopolysaccharide that is a natural component of cartilage tissue.
Chondroitin sulfate improves phosphorus-calcium metabolism in cartilage tissue, inhibits enzymes that cause damage to cartilage tissue, inhibits the processes of degeneration (destruction) of cartilage tissue, stimulates the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans, promotes regeneration (restoration) of cartilage surfaces of joints, accelerates the processes of their repair, prevents the collapse of connective tissue. This leads to a reduction in soreness and increased mobility of the affected joints.
Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that has an anti-inflammatory, analgesic effect. Meloxicam selectively inhibits cyclooxygenase 2, disrupts arachidonic acid metabolism, and reduces the amount of prostaglandins (mediators of pain and inflammation) in the inflammatory focus.
Meloxicam is a chondroneutral drug, does not have a negative effect on cartilage tissue, does not affect the synthesis of proteoglycan by chondrocytes of articular cartilage.
