Drug Interactions

**Diacerein:**
Taking aluminium or magnesium hydroxide antacids can lower how much diacerein your body absorbs. The risk of diarrhoea goes up if you use it with laxatives or antibiotics. Do not take diacerein at the same time as fibre or foods with phytates.

**Glucosamine:**
Glucosamine can make antidiabetic drugs, doxorubicin, etoposide, and tenoposide less effective. It may also increase the blood-thinning effects of warfarin.

Contraindications

Diacerein is absorbed less by the body if you take it with antacids that contain aluminum or magnesium. If you take diacerein with laxatives or antibiotics, you have a higher chance of getting diarrhea. You should also avoid taking diacerein at the same time as fiber or foods with phytic acid. Some people can have allergic reactions to diacerein, especially if they are sensitive to anthraquinone derivatives.

Mode of actions

Diacerein is a type of medicine related to anthraquinones and is used to treat osteoarthritis. It is believed to work by blocking the effects of interleukin-1, a substance involved in joint inflammation. Glucosamine helps the body make proteoglycans and also increases how much sulfate is absorbed by cartilage in the joints.

Dosage & Administration

Adults and children over 12 years and older:
1 tablet twice daily (12 hourly) taken with food.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Although animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect even sometimes unable to demonstrate the risk on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women, but during pregnancy, this medicine can be used just when definitely required.
