Is Teraflex useful: reviews

Our vertebrae and joints are connected by cartilaginous tissue, which serves as a lubricant, shock absorber: when we move, it softens the friction of the joint surfaces and vertebrae against each other. But such a necessary tissue, unfortunately, can collapse - from age, from inflammation, from trauma. Thinning of our biological shock absorber is the common cause of a variety of diseases, which doctors call degenerative-dystrophic. These include osteoarthritis, osteochondrosis, and other diseases, which are accompanied by pain and discomfort during movement. For a long time, treatment of such diseases was a difficult task for doctors, until "Teraflex" appeared on the shelves of pharmacies. Reviews of people who have been treated with this drug give hope to those who suffer from diseases of the musculoskeletal system due to the thinning of the cartilaginous tissue.

"Teraflex" (Teraflex) is produced in the US by Sagmel in the form of capsules. He is appointed specifically for the restoration of cartilage. He is prescribed for osteoarthritis of 1-3 degrees, osteochondrosis and some other diseases, the cause of which is the damage to the cartilaginous tissue. Capsules "Teraflex", the composition of which is a combination of chondroitin sodium sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride, is taken in the course of therapy, which lasts about 3-6 months. Chondroitin sodium sulfate stimulates the body to produce those substances that are needed to restore cartilaginous tissue, block those enzymes that destroy cartilage, enrich the joints with synovial fluid (actually lubricating, preventing friction of the joints). Glucosamine hydrochloride has an anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect. This substance also protects the damaged cartilage from further destruction, and allows it to absorb other drugs without problems. What do they write about the drug "Teraflex"? Reviews allow you to judge its effectiveness in combating pain, restoring joint mobility. A valuable quality of the drug is also considered that its acceptance reduces the need for anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs.

Like other drugs, there is a drug and minuses. So, for whom "Teraflex" is undesirable? Contraindications, first of all, are of an age character, but there are other criteria. It can not be taken until the age of 15, of course, during childbearing and feeding, as well as in certain diseases - in cases of severe renal failure, or if people have an individual intolerance to the components of this drug.

The course of treatment with the drug lasts from 3 months to 6 months. Begin taking the drug with a dosage: 1 capsule three times a day (regardless of food intake). After a while, the dosage can be reduced to 2 capsules per day. At the beginning of the course of treatment with the drug "Teraflex", patients' comments about this are often not very positive - many people say that they experienced constipation, bloating, sleep disturbance and even tachycardia, but then these discomforts disappeared. As a rule, the improvement occurred already on the third month of taking the drug.

The drug "Teraflex" is sold in packs of 30, 60 and 100 capsules. The larger the packaging, the naturally less the price of each capsule. Recently, another modification of the facility appeared: Teraflex Advance. It is the same hondoprotector, but it was supplemented with an analgesic drug such as ibuprofen. Also, an external remedy for fighting osteochondrosis is given - cream "Teraflex". Reviews of this drug are most enthusiastic: the cream "Teraflex M", in addition to chondroitin and glucosamine, contains camphor and mint oils, which have an anesthetic, warming and anti-inflammatory effect. In general, on the shelves now appeared many chondoprotectors under a variety of names. And although doctors call this drug a biologically active additive (BAD), its effectiveness in the treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system is noted by many patients.
