pharmachologic effect
Theraflex Chondrocream Forte has a combined effect: it slows down the progression of osteoarthrosis and osteochondrosis, has an analgesic effect, helps to increase the range of motion of the joints (in the area where the cream is applied), has an anti-inflammatory effect, and reduces swelling of the joints. Thanks to the optimal combination of cream components, there is a mutual enhancement of their analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects.
Chondroitin sulfate is a high molecular weight mucopolysaccharide, which is a natural component of cartilage tissue. Chondroitin sulfate improves phosphorus-calcium metabolism in cartilage tissue, inhibits enzymes that cause damage to cartilage tissue, inhibits the processes of degeneration (destruction) of cartilage tissue, stimulates the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans, promotes the regeneration (restoration) of cartilaginous surfaces of joints, accelerates their repair processes, and prevents the collapse of connective tissue . This leads to decreased pain and increased mobility of the affected joints.
Meloxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Meloxicam selectively inhibits cyclooxygenase 2, disrupts the metabolism of arachidonic acid, and reduces the amount of prostaglandins (mediators of pain and inflammation) at the site of inflammation. Meloxicam is a chondroneutral drug, does not have a negative effect on cartilage tissue, and does not affect the synthesis of proteoglycan by chondrocytes of articular cartilage.
Contraindications

Theraflex and chronic diseases
Diabetics should take Theraflex with caution. If your doctor has given you permission to use Theraflex, you should always keep your glucose levels under close monitoring. Patients with heart failure, bronchial asthma and kidney problems should be wary of taking this drug and, at the first sign of edema, stop taking it and consult a specialist for discontinuation.
Teraflex and alcohol
Ethyl alcohol increases blood flow in the kidneys, so the active substance will be excreted at an accelerated pace, without having time to have a therapeutic effect.

TERAFFLEX chondroCREAM FORTE reviews
TERAFLEX chondrocream forte is a remedy for osteoarthritis.
The longer you live, the more surprised you are at our gullibility and naivety. This love for fairy tales and the eternal expectation of a miracle has probably remained with us since childhood. The main thing is that sometimes we ourselves understand that we are being deceived, and yet we “buy it.” One of the greats said that absolutely anything can be suggested to a person. And the unforgettable Ostap Bender spoke out directly: “More cynicism, people like it.”
Yesterday I saw an advertisement for Teraflex cream on TV and couldn’t resist writing a review. The cream itself was developed by the German company Bayer, but it is produced in Russia by Nizhpharm. The advertisement talks very emotionally and colorfully about this miraculous drug, and after they showed an old man who could not straighten up, but after a single use of the cream started dancing, I just wanted to jump up from the couch and run to the pharmacy after him.
When I started laughing, my wife even got offended at me, saying that it means it’s helping since it’s advertised. This is our naivety. Without any embarrassment, they tell you that the active substances of the drug penetrate deep into the tissues and not only relieve inflammation and stiffness, but also restore cartilage. Here's how. RESTORING!
And many people don’t think that a person is not a scalapendra; he cannot restore or grow anything again. In addition, our skin protects us from the penetration of any nasty things into the tissues. And no active cream additives can reach the joint. And if this were not so, then our skin would absorb, like a sponge, all the infection, all the aggressive substances that we sometimes encounter.
Any cream, be it Teraflex, Dolgit, Capsicam, Finalgon or another, has only a local warming and mild analgesic effect. Nothing else. But at the same time, they are not cheap. The same Teraflex in different pharmacies costs from 450 to 550 rubles. It's not a penny for you.
It is clear that when a person has something in pain, and the joint pain is very severe, he clings to any straw. But you still need to turn on your head. No one is immune from osteochondrosis, arthrosis, arthritis, rheumatism and other ailments. Not at any age. Therefore, it is advisable to monitor your health before problems begin. But this is true, by the way. Most of us don't.
I had glenohumeral periarthritis about a year and a half ago. The pain is hellish, you can’t sleep at night because you can’t rest your arm without it hurting. It was impossible to lift it above the shoulder. And most importantly, I don’t know why this suddenly happened. It seems like I’m not too old yet, and I go to the gym all the time. And here - on you.
No matter what I tried, nothing helped. He even did the vaunted blockades from a series of injections. It's all useless. I surfed the Internet, found fellow sufferers, and one of them said that he was cured by Bubnovsky’s system.
I found several videos of how Bubnovsky worked on one patient’s shoulder through pain. The video, I must say, is not for the faint of heart, because the arm needs to be moved up to its full amplitude, and the pain is hellish, people were just screaming.
But nevertheless, I started trying this method. It was something. He stretched his hand up and rolled on it on the floor. Tears flowed from pain. But each time the amplitude became greater, and the pain subsided. The process is long. I studied for two months. And yet he achieved his goal. Although painful sensations are still felt, the arm can already rotate freely. Many thanks to Bubnovsky.
By the way, I found an interview with him where he says that no creams or injections will help you. Movement is needed, albeit through pain, but so that blood flows to the joints. This is the only way to get rid of these problems. Joint diseases are the scourge of modern man. We move very little, sit for hours in the office at the computer, no physical activity. And the body must work, be in motion.
Every day I tell myself: “That’s it, tomorrow I’ll start living differently. Exercise in the morning, walk in the afternoon, gym in the afternoon.” But tomorrow comes, current affairs must be resolved, new problems arise and the promise to oneself to start a new life is postponed until the day after tomorrow. And so on.
By the way, I told my colleagues how to get rid of joint problems, and it also helped some. Although we tried different creams before.
The only external drug that once helped me against radiculitis was a penny turpentine ointment. It warms up no worse than Finalgon and soothes pain.
So, saving drowning people is the work of the drowning people themselves.
Teraflex
Problems with joints, one way or another, threaten almost every person: when a certain age is reached, the cartilage tissue of the joints loses the ability to self-heal and its wear becomes irreversible. And this is where medications such as Teraflex come to the rescue. This “impact” ligament in the form of chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine, due to its active participation in the formation of connective tissue and the protection of cartilage from destruction, significantly expands the capabilities of cartilage tissue in terms of regeneration, which makes this combination an effective weapon in the fight against osteoarthritis. Thus, additional “feeding” of the body with glucosamine stimulates the synthesis of the cartilage matrix and provides the cartilage with reliable protection from damaging factors, including its protection from the destructive effects of other drugs (glucocorticosteroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). In addition, glucosamine has a moderate anti-inflammatory effect.
If glucosamine is a catalyst for the formation of the cartilage matrix, then chondroitin sulfate acts as an additional substrate for this process. In addition, it is involved in the formation of hyaluron (in the form of acid, this substance is the main component of intra-articular fluid), proteoglycans (form the basis of connective tissue) and collagen.
Chondroitin sulfate maintains the required consistency of intra-articular fluid, stimulates cartilage regeneration processes and suppresses the action of “unfriendly” enzymes to cartilage, such as hyaluronidase and elastase.
Theraflex is available in capsules, taken with a small amount of liquid, regardless of meals. The regimen for taking the drug in adults and adolescents over 15 years of age is as follows: 1 capsule 3 times a day (in the first 3 weeks), 1 capsule 2 times a day (all subsequent days). Teraflex is a drug for long-term use: the optimal duration of the therapeutic course is from 3 to 6 months. In a number of situations, in consultation with the doctor, it is possible to repeat courses of treatment with Teraflex, the duration of which is decided on an individual basis.
The appearance of side effects from the digestive tract is not a reason to completely discontinue the drug: it is enough to reduce its dose by half. And only if there is no improvement, the course of treatment is stopped. Theraflex can be combined with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and glucocorticosteroids. Moreover: when taken together, it reduces the need for the former.
