Dycerin Capsule 10 contains Diacerein (50 mg), which works in your body through several mechanisms:

• Inhibits Interleukin-1β System: Diacerein blocks a system in your body known as the Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) system. This system usually causes inflammation.
• Reduces Sensitivity to IL-1: This medicine decreases how sensitive your body is to IL-1 by reducing IL-1 receptor levels on certain cells called chondrocytes.
• Increases Production of IL-1 Receptor Antagonist: Diacerein indirectly boosts the production of a substance that prevents IL-1 from working effectively.
• Suppresses Activation of NF-κB Transcription Factor: Diacerein stops a factor in your body called NF-κB from being activated. This factor usually stimulates the expression of proteins that cause inflammation.
• Reduces Cartilage Loss: This medicine helps to reduce the loss of cartilage, a flexible tissue that protects your joints.
• Increases Subchondral Bone Mineral Density: Diacerein boosts the mineral density of a part of your bone called the subchondral bone. This action can help make your bones stronger.

• Engage in regular, gentle exercise such as swimming or cycling. This can help manage symptoms of osteoarthritis by strengthening the muscles around your joints, increasing flexibility, and improving mood.
