Glucosamine is a natural substance produced in the human body and found in certain foods. Glucosamine stimulates the production of glycosaminoglycan & proteoglycan, two essential building blocks of cartilage. Glucosamine acts, as a supplement, as a joint lubricant and shock absorber necessary to maintain healthy cartilage and joint function.

Diacerein is an anti-inflammatory analgesic and antipyretic drug, indicated specially for the treatment of arthritic conditions. It directly inhibits IL-1 synthesis and release in vitro and down modulates IL-1 induced activities and relieves Osteoarthritis.

Uses

This is primarily used for conditions like Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Bone & Joint injuries.

Mobipro is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Osteoarthritis in the Hip Joint, Osteoarthritis of the Knee

How Mobipro works

Diacerein's active metabolite rhein Rhein reduces cartilage destruction by decreasing expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 and -3 as well as upregulating tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases which serve to reduce the activity of several MMPs . The anti-inflammatory action of rhein reduces the level of interleukin-1beta activity which plays a large role in reduction of extracellular matrix production, MMP activity, and continued inflammation . Rhein reduces abnormal osteoblast synthetic activity through an unknown mechanism .

Dosage

Mobipro dosage

Adult & Children above 12 years: One tablet (Diacerein50 mg & Glucosamine Sulphate750 mg) twice daily for 4-12 weeks, taken with food.
