Structoflex 625mg Box of 60 Capsules on sale in our organic pharmacy, is used to relieve symptoms associated with mild to moderate osteoarthritis of the knee.

What is Structoflex 625mg Box of 60 Capsules used for?

Structoflex 625mg Box of 60 Capsules is a medication designed to relieve joint pain associated with mild to moderate osteoarthritis of the knee. The main aim of this treatment is to alleviate unpleasant symptoms such as pain and limited mobility. Its active ingredient, glucosamine, is a substance naturally present in cartilage and synovial fluid, making it particularly suitable for people suffering from joint disorders.

Glucosamine is renowned for its anti-inflammatory properties and its role in cartilage preservation. By taking Structoflex, you can expect to reduce joint pain and slow the progression of osteoarthritis. Although its mechanism of action is not fully understood, clinical studies show that it is effective in the symptomatic treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee, a common condition among adults and senior citizens.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that leads to the progressive destruction of cartilage. Structoflex helps to slow this progression by stimulating the production of certain molecules present in cartilage and reducing joint inflammation. Structoflex is therefore an invaluable aid for those seeking to maintain their mobility and quality of life despite this condition. If you experience regular knee pain or have difficulty getting around, Structoflex could greatly improve your daily life.

In addition to its effectiveness in managing the symptoms of osteoarthritis, Structoflex stands out for its safety profile. It is well tolerated by the majority of users, and is free from many of the side effects associated with conventional osteoarthritis treatments, such as steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. This makes it suitable for prolonged use to manage chronic pain while minimizing health risks.

What's more, Structoflex is particularly interesting for people who wish to avoid heavy drug treatments, or who are sensitive to the side effects of other types of anti-inflammatory medication. By acting over the long term, it helps to gradually improve joint mobility, while preserving users' day-to-day comfort.

Structoflex, thanks to its specific formulation, provides a lasting solution for people seeking to maintain an active lifestyle despite osteoarthritis. By incorporating this treatment into your routine, you can improve your quality of life, reduce joint pain and optimize your mobility over time. To reinforce these benefits, it's advisable to combine Structoflex with a healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity and a balanced diet.

Looking for a joint relief solution? Structoflex could well be the key to restoring your well-being.

GLOSSARY (summary)


allergy
Skin reaction (itching, pimples, swelling) or general discomfort occurring after contact with a particular substance, use of a medication, or ingestion of food. The main forms of allergy are eczema, urticaria, asthma, angioedema and allergic shock (anaphylactic shock). Food allergy can also result in digestive disorders.


analgesic
Medication that works against pain. Analgesics act either directly on the centers of pain in the brain or by blocking the transmission of pain to the brain.
Synonym: analgesic.


anticoagulant
Medication that prevents blood from coagulating and therefore prevents clots from forming in the blood vessels.
Anticoagulants are used to treat or prevent phlebitis, pulmonary embolism, certain infarcts. They also prevent the formation of clots in the heart during rhythm disorders such as atrial fibrillation or in the case of an artificial heart valve.
There are two main types of anticoagulants:
  • oral anticoagulants, which block the action of vitamin K (antivitamin K, or AVK) and whose effectiveness is controlled by a blood test: INR (formerly TP);
  • injectable anticoagulants derived from heparin, the efficacy of which can be controlled by the blood assay of anti-Xa activity, Howell's Time (TH) or Cephalin Kaolin Time (TCK) depending on the products used. A regular dosage of blood platelets is necessary throughout the life of a heparin derivative.


osteoarthritis
Wear of cartilage, responsible for joint pain and limitation of movement.


asthma
Disease characterized by difficulty breathing, often resulting in wheezing. Asthma, permanent or occurring by crisis, is due to a narrowing and inflammation of the bronchi.


cholesterol
Main fat circulating in the blood. It is used in the body as a raw material, especially for the envelope of cells and for the synthesis of steroid hormones. In excess, cholesterol is eliminated in the bile, but it can also accumulate in the arteries and form plaques of atheroma.


diabetes
A general term for diseases that result in the emission of abundant urine and intense thirst. The word diabetes, used alone, is generally related to diabetes mellitus, which corresponds to a disruption in the regulation of the body's sugars by insulin. It results in increased sugar (glucose) in the blood and its possible presence in the urine. There are two types of diabetes mellitus: Type 1 or insulin-dependent diabetes, which requires insulin injections, and type 2 or non-insulin dependent diabetes, which can initially be treated with oral antidiabetics.


glucose
Amount of sugar in one liter of blood. It usually varies between 0.6 and 1.1 g / l (3.3 mmol / l to 6 mmol / l) in the fasted person. The diagnosis of diabetes should be considered when the blood glucose exceeds 1.2 g / l (6.6 mmol / l).


edema
Accumulation of water or lymph causing localized swelling.
