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).

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

This medication contains 2.5 mg of aspartame in each sachet.

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.
