Can Glucosamine Or Condroiton Cause Side Effects Like Nose Bleeding?

I began taking Arthrem six weeks ago then 3 weeks ago I also began to take Glucosamine/Condroiton as well. At the same time I had my blood pressure checked by my doctor and it was fine - two days later I had a nose bleed which took 2 hours to stop. I thought maybe the Arthrem and Glucosamine/Condroiton was too much so I stopped the Arthrem and continued the Glucosameine/condroiton. I have had two more nose bleeds - one week apart since then. Both took 2 hours to stop. I am wondering if there may be a connection between the Gl/Con and the nose bleeds???

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your experience with occasional nose bleed following the prescription of Arthrem glucosamine and chondroiton I will suggest you have developed an epistaxis possible due to one of the following

Cystic fibrosis
Nasal polyp
Sinusitis

In view of this please do a CT and paranasal sinus x-ray to determine the cause of bleeding

Please see an ENT specialist for further clinical assessment and adequate drug drug prescription

I hope this helps Regards
