Abstract:
Basic therapy of osteoarthritis (OA) using preparation
which has a composition similar to the hyaline cartilage
matrix, is reviewed. This drug has a clear anti-inflammatory
and analgesic effect, normalizes the function of affected
joints, improves the quality of life of patients, and also has
a potential structural-modifying effect. Due to this therapy,
the daily requirements in NSAIDs can be significantly reduced.
The treatment with this drug is safe, well-tolerated
by patients and can be used in OA complex therapy.
