Mechanism of action

Gel Chondroxide - a drug that improves the regeneration of cartilage and anti-inflammatory action for external use. Stimulator of tissue regeneration. Chondroxide normalizes metabolism in hyaline tissue, stimulates regenerative (regenerative) processes in articular cartilage, has an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect, and slows the progression of osteoarthritis and osteochondrosis. The drug contains a natural component chondroitin sulfate, derived from the cartilage of cattle. It is a high-molecular mucopolysaccharide, which slows down bone resorption and reduces Calcium loss, improves phosphorus-calcium metabolism in cartilage, accelerates its repair processes, and slows down the process of cartilage tissue degeneration. Interferes with a collapse of connecting fabric.Inhibits enzymes that cause cartilage damage, stimulates the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans, promotes the regeneration of the articular sac and the cartilage surfaces of the joints, increases the production of intraarticular fluid.
Dimethyl sulfoxide contributes to a better penetration of chondroitin sulfate through the cell membrane into the tissues. It has some anti-inflammatory, analgesic and fibrinolytic effects.
The use of chondroxide leads to a decrease in pain and an increase in the mobility of the affected joints, as well as slowing the progression of osteoarthritis and osteochondrosis.
