Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)
The combination of glucosamine and NSAIDs may reduce the doses needed for
anti-inflammatory activity as well as the side effects associated with these
drugs (Zupanets et al. 1991). In an in vitro study, lower doses of diclofenac,
indomethacin and piroxicam combined with glucosamine reduced
experimentally-induced inflammation in mice. |
