Osteoarthritis is characterized by the progressive degeneration of cartilage glycosaminoglycans. Glucosamine is an amino sugar and a prominent precursor in the biochemical synthesis of glycosylated proteins and lipids. Since glucosamine is a precursor for glycosaminoglycans. They are a major component of joint cartilage, supplemental glucosamine may help to rebuild cartilage and treat arthritis. Its use as a therapy for osteoarthritis appears safe, but there is conflicting evidence as to its effectiveness with more recent studies showing limited to no clinical benefit of use.
500 mg 3-4 times daily PO.
Glucosamine is usually used in the treatment of osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis.
