Artiflex cream tube 100 g

Artiflex is a combined three-component drug for the treatment of diseases of the musculoskeletal system. It contains glucosamine hydrochloride, ibuprofen and allantoin.

Active ingredients

Due to its combined composition, the drug has chondroprotective, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antiexudative, membrane-protective and antioxidant effects.

Glucosamine hydrochloride is a low molecular weight mucopolysaccharide that stimulates the regeneration of the joint capsule and cartilage tissue of the joint, and also inhibits the processes of cartilage destruction. Improves the synthesis of intra-articular fluid, which acts as a lubricant, improving joint sliding. Glucosamine hydrochloride increases the resistance of chondrocytes to the action of anti-inflammatory cytokines and activates metabolic processes in the joint matrix, thereby contributing to the formation of a stable joint. Increases the elasticity and resistance to compression of cartilage, which are necessary to counteract physical exertion. Glucosamine hydrochloride has a moderate anti-inflammatory effect, therefore enhances the effect of ibuprofen.

Ibuprofen has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects.

The analgesic effect of ibuprofen is associated with a decrease in the intensity of inflammation, a decrease in the production and weakening of specific pain mediators (bradykinin analgesics). It reduces pain syndrome, including arthralgia at rest and during movement, reduces morning stiffness and swelling of the joint, and helps to increase the volume of movements.

Allantoin is a herbal preparation of comfrey.

It has anti-inflammatory properties, reduces pain, and stimulates bone tissue regeneration processes.

Methylpyrrolidinone is a transdermal substance that promotes the penetration of the active ingredients of the cream through the skin into the joint tissue.

Indications for use
