Mechanism of action

Chondroitin-AKOS ointment is a stimulator of cartilage tissue regeneration in the joints (chondroprotector). Chondroitin sulfate is a high molecular weight mucopolysaccharide, which is obtained from the cartilage of cattle trachea. Affects metabolic processes in hyaline and fibrous cartilage, reduces degenerative changes in the cartilage tissue of the joints, stimulates the biosynthesis of glycosaminoglycans in chondrocytes. Suppresses the activity of enzymes that cause damage to cartilage tissue, promotes the regeneration of the articular sacs and the cartilaginous surfaces of the joints, increases the production of intraarticular fluid. It improves Calcium and phosphorus metabolism and reduces calcium loss in cartilage, slows bone resorption, normalizes metabolism in hyaline tissue, accelerates regeneration processes. Structurally close to Heparin, it prevents the formation of fibrin clots in the synovial and subchondral microvasculature. As a result of exposure, pain decreases and mobility of the affected joints increases.
Dimethyl sulfoxide, which is part of the ointment, has anti-inflammatory, analgesic and fibrinolytic effects, contributes to a better penetration of chondroitin sulfate through the cell membrane into the tissue.
Ointment Chondroitin-AKOS has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect, normalizes metabolism and stimulates recovery processes in the tissues of the joints, reduces and disappears pain in the joints, increases joint mobility and slows the progression of osteoarthritis and osteochondrosis.
