  • Other medicines and Glucosamine Normon

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

Be careful if you take glucosamine at the same time as other medicines, especially warfarin and tetracycline. Consult your doctor for proper advice.

Certain 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 closely monitored at the start or end of treatment with glucosamine.

Glucosamine Normon should not be used during pregnancy.

Do not take glucosamine if you are in the last 3 months of pregnancy, as it may harm the fetus or cause problems during delivery. It may cause kidney and heart problems in your fetus. It may affect your and your baby's tendency to bleed and delay or prolong delivery more than expected. You should not take glucosamine during the first 6 months of pregnancy unless it is clearly necessary and as directed by your doctor. If you need treatment during this period or while trying to become pregnant, you should take the minimum dose for the shortest possible time. From the 20th week of pregnancy, glucosamine may cause kidney problems in your fetus if taken for more than a few days, which may lead to low levels of amniotic fluid surrounding the baby (oligohydramnios) or narrowing of a blood vessel (ductus arteriosus) in the baby's heart. If you need treatment for more than a few days, your doctor may recommend additional checks.

The use of glucosamine is not recommended during breastfeeding.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before using any medicine.
