Cracking Sound In Left Knee With No Pain. Advised Cartigen 1500 Mg. Have Acidic Problem. Any Possible Problem With Medication?

Sir, Namaskar. I have a problem of cracking sound in my left knee with no pain. I consulted Orthopedic Surgeon who advised me to take Cartigen 1500 mg/day for 3 months with three exercises. I have no blood sugar, but a little acidic problem. I am vegetarian. Will this medicine suite me without any side effects? or else, what is your impression and suggestion, please advise. My e-mail No. is YYYY@YYYY

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.

Occurance of cracking sounds in the joint indicates wear and tear in the articular cartilage of the knee.

It is always preferable to take Cartigen tablets immediately after having food so that it will not aggravate your acidity.

Generally, these cartigen tablets are not associated with any serious sideeffects and are safe to take them for 3 months. This medicine will have a positive impact on your knee function.

Hope this information is helpful. Good day

these are only suppliments which increases the oily layers of joint cavities
the cracking sound is due to dry synovial joints
these are safe to use for 3 months in your case as i have read all the details written by you
