LEFAX
Composition
Diacerein 50mg
Description & Effects
LEFAX contains Diacerein, a disease-modifying osteoarthritis drug (DMOAD) that is primarily used to manage osteoarthritis and other degenerative joint disorders. Diacerein works differently from typical painkillers—it doesn’t just relieve symptoms but also helps slow down the progression of joint damage by promoting the regeneration of cartilage. Diacerein acts by stimulating the synthesis of proteoglycans, essential components of cartilage tissue. This supports the repair and rebuilding of cartilage, the soft tissue that cushions joints and allows smooth movement. Additionally, it exhibits anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), a pro-inflammatory substance that contributes to joint inflammation and destruction in osteoarthritis. LEFAX is especially beneficial in managing chronic joint pain, stiffness, and swelling associated with conditions like osteoarthritis of the knee or hip. While the onset of relief may be gradual compared to NSAIDs, its long-term benefits in preserving joint function make it a valuable treatment option for chronic use. It is usually taken orally with food to minimize gastrointestinal discomfort. Regular use, combined with physical therapy and weight management, enhances its effectiveness. Always take LEFAX under medical supervision, and continue the treatment as advised, even if symptoms seem to improve, to achieve long-term joint health benefits.
