Do not take Glucosamine Korhispana:

  • If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to glucosamine or any of the other components of Glucosamine Korhispana.
  • If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to shellfish, since glucosamine is obtained from shellfish.

Be careful with Glucosamine Korhispana:

  • If you have altered sugar (glucose) tolerance. More frequent controls of blood sugar levels may be necessary when starting treatment with glucosamine.
  • If you have any risk factor for suffering from heart or artery diseases, since in some cases increases in cholesterol have been observed in patients treated with glucosamine.
  • If you have asthma. When starting treatment with glucosamine, you should consider that symptoms may worsen.
  • If you have any kidney or liver disorder, since no investigations have been carried out in these conditions and, therefore, no dosage recommendations can be given.

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

Do not take Glucosamine Korhispana if you are under 18 years old.

Use of other medicines:

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using or have recently used other medicines, including those obtained without a prescription.

Some types of medicines used to prevent blood clotting (e.g., warfarin, dicumarol, phenprocoumon, acenocoumarol, and fluindione). The effect of these medicines may be enhanced if used together with glucosamine. Therefore, patients treated with these combinations should be monitored more closely when starting or stopping treatment with glucosamine.
