CompositionBiojoynt Tablet 10 is a medicine used to help manage symptoms of osteoarthritis in adults, particularly in the hip and knee joints. It helps reduce joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, supports joint movement, and may help slow the wearing down of joint cartilage over time.
It is a combination medicine that contains diacerein, glucosamine sulfate, and methylsulfonylmethane (MSM). It is usually taken with food to reduce stomach upset, as advised by your doctor. The benefit may build up gradually over several weeks, so continue the medicine for the full duration prescribed even if you do not feel an immediate change.
Supportive lifestyle measures help manage osteoarthritis alongside this medicine. These include doing low-impact exercises such as walking or swimming, maintaining a healthy weight to reduce stress on the joints, applying warm or cold compresses for stiff joints, and using assistive devices if recommended by your doctor or physiotherapist.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have any kidney or liver problems, bowel disease, a shellfish allergy (since some forms of glucosamine come from shellfish), diabetes, or are taking other medicines. Inform your doctor if you notice persistent stomach pain, dark stools, or changes in stool colour during treatment. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use.
