Andrei Popov

General medicinePain medicine7 years of experience

Dr. Andrei Popov is a General Practitioner with specialized training in chronic pain. He provides online consultations for adult patients in Spain and other European countries.

Dr. Popov understands that seeking help with weight-related concerns or pain that has persisted for months can be difficult. Many patients come to him after trying different approaches without feeling truly heard. During the consultation, the doctor creates a comfortable and supportive, non-judgmental environment where the patient’s medical history can be discussed in detail, questions can be answered, and the next steps can be decided together.

Weight Management and Metabolic Health

Dr. Popov can help assess overweight, obesity, and related conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or metabolic disorders. During the consultation, the patient’s medical history, test results, current medications, and previous treatments will be reviewed.

If you would like to learn about possible medication options or have already started treatment, the doctor can assess your situation, review the effectiveness and tolerability of the therapy, and clearly explain its benefits, potential risks, and alternatives.

Not every patient requires the same treatment. A consultation does not guarantee a prescription — it provides an objective medical assessment and a plan tailored to your individual situation.

Pain and General Medicine

You can also consult Dr. Popov regarding:

* chronic pain, migraines, neuralgia, and fibromyalgia;

* back, neck, lower back, or joint pain;

* hypertension, diabetes, and follow-up of chronic conditions;

* review of test results, medical reports, and current treatment;

* preventive medicine and a second medical opinion.

How the Consultation Works

The video consultation lasts up to 30 minutes. The doctor will listen carefully, review the information you provide, and explain the next steps in clear and understandable language.

If additional tests, an in-person consultation, or urgent medical care are required, the doctor will inform you directly.

Dr. Popov’s goal is to make sure the patient feels heard and leaves the consultation with a clear understanding of their condition and the next steps they can take.

Doctor consultation

2. What you need to know before taking glucosamine cinfa

Do not take glucosamine cinfa

  • If you are allergic to glucosamine or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).
  • If you are allergic to shellfish, as glucosamine is obtained from shellfish.

Warnings and Precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take glucosamine cinfa.

Be particularly careful:

  • If you have altered sugar tolerance (glucose). More frequent blood sugar level checks may be necessary when starting treatment with glucosamine.
  • If you have any risk factors for heart or artery disease, as increased cholesterol levels have been observed in some patients treated with glucosamine.
  • If you have asthma. When starting treatment with glucosamine, keep in mind that symptoms may worsen.
  • If you have any kidney or liver impairment, as no investigations have been conducted in these conditions and, therefore, no dosage recommendations can be given. Administration in these patients should always be under medical supervision.

You should consult your doctor to rule out the presence of other joint diseases for which other treatments should be considered.

Children and Adolescents

Do not take glucosamine if you are under 18 years old.

Other Medications and Glucosamine Cinfa

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may take any other medication.

Caution is recommended if glucosamine is administered in combination with other medications, especially:

  • Certain types of medications used to prevent blood clotting (e.g., warfarin, dicumarol, fenprocoumon, acenocoumarol, and fluindione). The effect of these medications may be enhanced if used with glucosamine. Therefore, patients treated with these combinations should be closely monitored at the start or end of glucosamine treatment.
  • With other medications such as tetracycline.

Consult your doctor for proper advice.

Taking Glucosamine Cinfa with Food and Drinks

Dissolve the contents of the glucosamine sachet in a glass of water and take it once a day, preferably with meals.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

Driving and Using Machines

No studies have been conducted on how glucosamine affects the ability to drive and use machines. However, if you experience headache, fatigue, dizziness, drowsiness, or vision problems while taking glucosamine, you should not drive or operate machines (see section 4 "Possible Side Effects").

Glucosamine Cinfa Contains Aspartame (E-951)

This medication contains 2.5 mg of aspartame in each sachet.

Aspartame contains a source of phenylalanine, which may be harmful in cases of phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare genetic disorder in which phenylalanine accumulates due to the body's inability to eliminate it properly.

Your doctor will adjust the dose according to your condition.

The recommended starting dose is one sachet (dissolved in a glass of water) once a day, preferably with meals.

For oral use.

Treatment Duration

Glucosamine is not indicated for the treatment of acute painful symptoms. Relief of symptoms (especially pain relief) may not be apparent until after several weeks of treatment and, in some cases, even longer. If you do not experience relief from symptoms in 2-3 months, consult your doctor to reconsider continuing treatment with glucosamine.

If You Take More Glucosamine Cinfa Than You Should

If you take more glucosamine than you should, or if another person or child takes this medication, inform your doctor or pharmacist.

Signs and symptoms of glucosamine overdose include headache, dizziness, confusion, joint pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation. Do not continue taking glucosamine if you experience any of the above symptoms.

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or call the Toxicology Information Service, phone 91 562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount ingested. It is recommended to bring the packaging and package leaflet to the healthcare professional.
