Hello Chakradhar,

Thanks for posting your query on HCM
Orcerin-GM contains Diacerein, Glucosamine and Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM).
Diacerein is an anti-inflammatory agent, prescribed for osteoarthritis and chronic inflammatory arthritis. It works by inhibiting interleukin-1. It has pain relieving properties. It does not contain steroids.
The usual dosage of diacerein is 50 mg twice daily, after meals, for 3 years.
Diacerein works by blocking the actions of interleukin-1 beta, a protein involved in the inflammation and destruction of cartilage that play a role in the development of symptoms of degenerative joint diseases such as osteoarthritis. Orcerin GM has anti-osteoarthritis and cartilage stimulating properties
