Description
Glucosamine, Chondroitin & Diacerein Film-Coated Tablets
Healthy Inc is a specialized global supplier and exporter of advanced orthopedics, rheumatology, and cartilage-regeneration therapeutics. We provide ultra-high-purity, kinetically optimized Glucosamine Sulfate, Chondroitin Sulfate & Diacerein Film-Coated Tablets, manufactured in WHO–GMP certified, high-compression and moisture-controlled oral solid dosage facilities. This “Triple-Action Chondroprotective & IL-1 Inhibitor FDC” is a massive-volume, highly lucrative export to orthopedic hospitals, arthritis management clinics, geriatric care networks, and government health ministries in LATAM, the CIS, Africa, and Southeast Asia, serving as the globally mandated, first-line intervention for delaying joint deterioration in severe Osteoarthritis (OA).
Product Overview
This highly advanced formulation fundamentally attacks osteoarthritis on two completely different biological fronts. While the foundational nutrients actively rebuild the damaged cartilage matrix, the targeted Diacerein molecule violently suppresses the enzymes that are actively eating the joint away.
The “Cartilage-Rebuilding & IL-1 Blockade” Specialist:
- Mechanism 1 (The IL-1 Destructor Blockade – Diacerein): In an osteoarthritic joint, the immune system constantly releases a cytokine called Interleukin-1 (IL-1). This cytokine triggers severe inflammation and activates enzymes (metalloproteinases) that literally chew up healthy cartilage. Diacerein is a powerful, highly specific IL-1 inhibitor. It actively blocks the production and activity of IL-1, instantly putting the brakes on joint destruction and severe inflammatory pain.
- Mechanism 2 (The Cartilage Architect – Glucosamine): Once Diacerein stops the destruction, Glucosamine goes to work. It acts as the essential biochemical precursor for the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and proteoglycans. It physically provides the raw building blocks the chondrocytes (cartilage cells) need to rebuild the smooth, gliding surface of the knee and hip joints.
- Mechanism 3 (The Shock Absorber – Chondroitin): Chondroitin Sulfate is a massive structural molecule that acts like a biological sponge. It violently pulls water into the newly formed cartilage matrix, restoring the joint’s natural hydraulic shock-absorbing properties, preventing the bones from grinding together and reducing severe friction pain.
Product Composition & Strength
We supply this product as a Precision-Blended, High-Density Oblong Caplet, packed exclusively in highly secure, moisture-resistant Alu-Alu blister strips to ensure the absolute chemical stability of the highly hygroscopic sulfate salts.
| Active Ingredient | Strength | Primary Clinical Function |
|---|---|---|
| Glucosamine Sulfate Potassium Chloride USP/Ph.Eur. | 750 mg | The Structural Foundation: Massive therapeutic payload required to stimulate raw cartilage synthesis. |
| Chondroitin Sulfate Sodium USP/Ph.Eur. | 200 mg / 250 mg | The Hydraulic Restorer: Pulls water into the joint matrix to restore physical shock-absorption and elasticity. |
| Diacerein USP/Ph.Eur. | 50 mg | The Biochemical Brake: Direct Interleukin-1 (IL-1) inhibition to halt the enzymatic degradation of the joint space. |
| Excipients | Microcrystalline Cellulose / Povidone K-30 / Croscarmellose Sodium / Magnesium Stearate / Premium Moisture-Barrier Film | Diluent / High-Shear Binder / Superdisintegrant / Lubricant / Slipper-Coating (Engineered specifically to compress over 1000mg of bulky, powdery API into a single, dense, swallowable “caplet” without crumbling, heavily coated to mask the bitter taste and lock out tropical humidity) |
*Pack Sizes: 10×10 Alu-Alu Blisters (Optimized specifically for strict 3-to-6 month chronic orthopedic dispensing regimens).

Manufacturing Authority
Marketed and Distributed by Healthy Inc from WHO-GMP & ISO 9001:2015 certified units.
- High-Compression Macrodose Tableting (CRITICAL COMPLIANCE): The average weight of this uncompressed formulation exceeds 1200mg. To prevent the pill from becoming a choking hazard for elderly patients, our orthopedics suite utilizes elite high-shear wet granulation to massively densify the powders. Paired with high-tonnage rotary compression machines and a specialized “oblong caplet” tooling, we deliver a perfectly uniform, smooth-swallowing tablet that guarantees maximum compliance in geriatric populations.
Therapeutic Indications (Human Use)
Indicated for the targeted, highly specialized management of degenerative joint diseases:
- Osteoarthritis (OA): The primary intervention for slowing the progression of severe osteoarthritis of the knee and hip, reducing the need for continuous NSAID use and delaying joint replacement surgery.
- Cartilage Degeneration: Relief of pain and improvement of joint mobility in chronic, load-bearing joint deterioration.
Dosage & Administration
Recommended Dosage (Strictly as per Orthopedic Guidelines):
- Standard Adult Dosing: One tablet taken twice daily (usually morning and evening).
- Administration (The Gastrointestinal Rule): The tablets MUST be taken with a heavy meal to drastically reduce the severe laxative effect of Diacerein.
- Delayed Onset: Patients must be counseled that this is a disease-modifying drug, not an immediate painkiller. Full clinical benefits (cartilage rebuilding) take 2 to 4 months of continuous, daily use to manifest.
Safety Warnings (CRITICAL Regulatory & Clinical Data):
- Severe Diarrhea & Laxative Effect (Diacerein): The most common, treatment-limiting side effect is severe, frequent loose stools or diarrhea during the first 2 to 4 weeks of therapy. Patients must be warned to stay hydrated and take the drug strictly with food.
- The “Red/Brown Urine” Warning: Diacerein metabolites will completely change the color of the patient’s urine to an intense, dark yellow, brown, or red. Patients must be explicitly warned of this harmless effect so they do not panic and assume they are bleeding or suffering from kidney failure.
- Hepatotoxicity Alert: The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has restricted Diacerein due to rare but severe risks of liver damage. Hepatic enzymes (ALT/AST) should be monitored periodically.
- Shellfish Allergy (Glucosamine): Glucosamine is frequently synthesized from the exoskeletons of crustaceans. This medication is strictly contraindicated in patients with severe shellfish allergies due to the risk of anaphylaxis.
- Diabetic Precautions: Glucosamine can alter glucose tolerance and increase insulin resistance. Diabetics must monitor their blood sugar closely when initiating therapy.
