Dinemic 35 mg SR

Is a slow-release (SR) formulation containing Diacerein, a medication used to treat osteoarthritis and other degenerative joint diseases. Diacerein belongs to a class of drugs known as anthraquinones and works by slowing down the breakdown of cartilage and reducing inflammation in the joints.

Key Uses:

• Osteoarthritis Treatment: Helps relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and slow down the progression of joint damage in osteoarthritis.
• Joint Health: Promotes cartilage repair and maintenance by inhibiting enzymes that break down cartilage in the joints.

Dosage and Administration:

• Typically taken once or twice daily, with food, as prescribed by a healthcare provider.
• The SR (slow-release) formulation allows the medication to be absorbed gradually, providing prolonged relief from symptoms.

Possible Side Effects:

• Diarrhea or loose stools (a common side effect in the initial stages of treatment)
• Abdominal pain or discomfort
• Yellow discoloration of urine (harmless and temporary)

Precautions:

• Gastrointestinal Sensitivity: May cause digestive issues, so it’s recommended to start with a low dose and take it with meals to minimize side effects.
• Liver Function: Regular monitoring of liver function is advisable in long-term use.
• Slow Onset of Action: Diacerein typically takes several weeks to show full effects, so it’s often combined with other pain relievers in the early stages of treatment.

Dinemic 35 mg SR is effective in managing the symptoms of osteoarthritis by reducing inflammation and slowing cartilage degradation, but it may take time to achieve maximum benefits.
