The consequences of diseases of the joints
The cartilage tissue in the body performs the function of the shock absorber, protecting the bone from friction and further destruction. And as soon as the structure of the cartilage changes, the motor function is immediately disturbed. There is an intercellular substance containing components that give our cartilage elasticity. These substances include chondroitin, glucosamine, proteoglycans. When degenerative-dystrophic changes occur in some kind of joint, the cartilage loses its elasticity, sometimes there are cases of cracking. Then there is a pathological growth of bone tissues due to injury.
General information about alflutop
This drug is used for diseases of the joints and the spinal column, as a rule, wearing degenerative-dystrophic character, that is, tend to destruction. Alflutop is able to improve metabolic (exchange) processes in cartilage tissue, relieve inflammation, pain. In addition, substances that destroy the structure of cartilage are suppressed, the synthesis of collagen, the power of the joint is significantly improved. Due to these properties, the alflutop is referred to chondroprotectors. The composition of the medicine includes the following components:
- extracts removed from several types of small marine fish;
- proteoglycans increasing the density of bone tissue, the thickness of the cartilage, the MRI indicator of hydrophilicity (the ability to absorb water well);
- chondroitin;
- dermatant sulfate and keratan sulfate;
- amino acids, proteins;
- hyaluronic acid;
- Micro and macroelements (calcium, zinc, potassium, magnesium, copper, iron, sodium) required for the construction of bone system cells.
The drug is produced only in the form of a solution, so it is possible to use only as injections.
pharmachologic effect
In addition to the chondroprotective effect, the alflutop has an anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect on sore joints.
All components of the drug are actively involved in Exchange processes cartilage tissue compensating for the lack of nutrients in which it is in dire need. Capillary permeability decreases, reducing processes are stimulated in cartilage. If during the period of rest, walk, especially on the stairs, or with other loads on the joint, pain appears, then the alflutop will remove it. Gradually, the patient again returns to the life to which he is used to. And the preparation has a positive effect on the synovial fluid, the amount of fibrinogen, globulin, leukocytes, sermukoids decreases. After a week, the patient feels better, and by the end of the course of treatment in the synovial fluid, the number of hyaluronic acid increases twice. The development of the disease is inhibited, patients say that the medical effect after the course spent last time.
