Pharmacodynamics

TeraflexВ® Chondrocrem Forte has a combined effect: it slows down the progression of osteoarthritis and osteochondrosis, has an analgesic effect, increases the range of motion of the joints (in the area of вЂ�вЂ�applying the cream), has an anti-inflammatory effect, and reduces joint swelling. Thanks to the optimal combination of the components of the cream, there is a mutual strengthening of their analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects.

Chondroitin sulfate is a high molecular weight 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 degeneration (destruction) of cartilage tissue, stimulates the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans, promotes regeneration (restoration) of cartilaginous surfaces of joints, accelerates the processes of their repair, prevents the collapse of connective tissue ... This results in less pain and increased mobility in the affected joints.

Meloxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that has anti-inflammatory, analgesic effects.

Meloxicam selectively inhibits cyclooxygenase 2, disrupts the metabolism of arachidonic acid, and reduces the amount of prostaglandins (mediators of pain and inflammation) in the focus of inflammation.

Meloxicam is a chondroneutral drug that does not adversely affect cartilage tissue, does not affect proteoglycan synthesis by articular cartilage chondrocytes.
