Abstract

Osteoarthritis is a chronic disease that affects mainly the elderly. The primary form of therapy is analgesic pharmacotherapy in accordance with the analgesic ladder. Another, still controversial, method is the administration of symptomatic slow-acting drugs for osteoarthritis, the main advantage of which is that they are practically devoid of toxicity. A recent review of papers on the use of this group of drugs has shown that the most potent modifying effect has the combination of glucosamine and chondroitin, which synergistically change the metabolism of the articular cartilage. In this article, we present four clinical cases in which the combination of glucosamine and chondroitin was effective.
