Dr. Vipul Aggarwal

personally i dont prescribe these medicines to my patientsi dont believe they work in all, they are trial drugs with no conclusive evidence driven by pharam companiesif u feel u are gettin better with them, u may take them but personally i would say please do regualar quadriceps exercises for healthy knees and eat good. thats all, dont rely on medicines

Ii want to know whether osteoarthritis of knees is the result of uric acid deposited in the knees.since kidney is not so strong as to excrete uric acid from the blood and it gets deposited in the knees and other joints in the body

Dr. Pushkar Mani

this is not true in all the cases, some times your uric acid production has increased due to improper metabolism, in any case we need to take medicine. above all for kidney you should go for Full KFT and LFT profile.

FAQs

Q. Does Cartisafe actually work in joint pain?

The evidence on the effectiveness of Cartisafe in reducing pain is controversial. Some patients report that Cartisafe has helped reduce arthritis pain, stiffness, and mild to moderate osteoarthritis pain. In fact, there is some evidence that Cartisafe has beneficial effects on the cartilage by slowing down the cartilage breakdown in the joints.

Q. Can Cartisafe cause liver damage?

In research studies, Cartisafe has not been found to raise the liver enzymes or cause any damage. However, there are few recent reports of liver injury while using the products containing Cartisafe. The chances of liver injury are more if the patient has been suffering from chronic liver disease.

Q. Is Cartisafe bad for kidneys?

The effect of Cartisafe on kidneys is not confirmatory. Cartisafe is mostly metabolized and broken down by the liver. However, there are some reports of kidney damage caused due to Cartisafe, but there is a lack of conclusive evidence. Therefore, it should be used with caution in patients with kidney damage and kidney function should be regularly monitored. Do consult your doctor before you start using this medication. Also, inform your doctor if you have any kidney disease.

Q. What are the precautions I should follow while taking Cartisafe?

Do consult your doctor before you start taking this medication and ensure to be cautious if you have diabetes or high blood glucose levels, high risk of heart disease or asthma. You should also be cautious if you are allergic to shellfish or are taking blood-thinning medicines like warfarin. Do tell your doctor if you have any of the above conditions before he prescribes you this medication.

Q. Is it safe to take Cartisafe while taking blood-thinning medication?

No, it is not safe to take Cartisafe while taking blood-thinning medications like warfarin or coumadin. The reason being, this medication interacts with the blood thinners and boosts the effect of the blood-thinning medication, thereby reducing the blood’s ability to form a clot in case of bleeding episodes. Therefore, patients taking any blood-thinning medicine should consult their doctor before starting this medication.
