Arthrodol Tablet is a proprietary Ayurvedic medicine manufactured by Dr. Pralep’s Pharmaceuticals. It is an innovative management for musculo-skeletal disorders.
The conventional therapy with NSAIDs generally does not prevent degradation of collagen and the ground substance matrix. NSAIDs may cause many side effects ex:- upper and lower GI complications like ulcers, haemorrhage, hepato-toxicity and habit formation. Some of these drugs can cause broncho-spasm and precipitate bronchial asthma. Arthrodolon the other hand tackles the main problem of preventing excessive production of collagenase and has an immuno-modulatory action apart from anti-inflammatory and analgesic actions.
