About Biostan D Tablet

DIACEREIN+GLUCOSAMINE+METHYLSULFONYLMETHANE belongs to a group of medications known as 'non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID)' used to reduce the pain of osteoarthritis (OA) in specific large and small joints. Osteoarthritis is a chronic (lifelong) joint condition in which a Glucosamine sulfate (a chemical found in the human body, especially in joints) gets reduced. The body uses this fluid to produce other chemicals required to make ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and the thick fluid surrounding joints. When this chemical get reduces, then the cartilage breaks down and becomes thin which causes friction between the bones leading to wear and tear (damage) of the joint tissues leading to pain, stiffness, inflammation, and reduced locomotion.

Medicinal Benefits of Biostan D Tablet

DIACEREIN+GLUCOSAMINE+METHYLSULFONYLMETHANE compromises three medicines, namely Glucosamine, Diacerein, and Methylsulfonylmethane. Glucosamine sulfate is a natural protein used by the body to produce various chemicals responsible for building ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and the thick fluid surrounding joints. When an individual becomes old, the levels of this fluid start reducing, which leads to a slow breakdown of joints. Taking it as a supplement boosts joint health and eases pain related to osteoarthritis. Diacerein is a slowly-acting medication that effectively treats swelling and pain in the joints. Methylsulfonylmethane is a type of natural chemical found in animals, plants, and humans. Taking it as a supplement helps reduce inflammation, lowers pain, and speeds recovery after exercise. It also reduces joint degeneration, which is a common reason for pain in the back, hands, knees, and hips. All three medicines in combination, relieve pain or swelling due to Osteoarthritis.
