Descriptions

  • Glucium-D tablet is the combination of 750 mg of Glucosamine Sulfate and 50 mg of Diacerein, two symptomatic slow-acting drugs (SYSADOAs) in Osteoarthritis. Diacerein is a new anti-inflammatory analgesic and antipyretic drug that directly inhibits IL-1 synthesis and release in vitro and down-modulates IL-1-induced activities and have been shown to possess disease-modifying effect in human subjects with finger joint and knee Osteoarthritis.
  • Glucosamine Sulfate is a naturally occurring chemical compound found in the body and it is commonly used in Osteoarthritis.

Indications

  • Glucium-D is primarily indicated in conditions like Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, and Bone and joint injuries.

Dosage & Administration

  • Adults and children over 12 years and older: 1 tablet twice daily (12 hourly) taken with food. In the case of patients with Creatinine Clearance(CrCl) less than 30 ml/min, the dose of Diacerein is to be reduced.

Side Effects

  • Diarrhea, constipation, epigastric pain, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, headache, skin rashes, drowsiness, and intense yellow coloring of urine may be associated with the active components of Glucium-D.

Precautions

  • Caution should be practiced when administering Glucium-D in those patients who are allergic to Glucosamine and/or Diacerein or to shellfish (e.g., shrimp, crab); who have diabetes, asthma, alcohol dependence, or liver disease. Before taking Glucium-D complete blood count, liver function and urinalysis should be monitored regularly.

Use in Pregnancy & Lactation

  • Diacerein is contraindicated in pregnancy and lactation. Glucosamine should not be taken by pregnant women and nursing mothers due to a lack of scientific data regarding its effect on fetuses and infants.

Drug Interaction
