1. What is Chronada and what is it used for

Chronada is a hard capsule medicine that contains two active ingredients. The first active ingredient is sodium chondroitin sulfate, and the second is glucosamine hydrochloride. Both active ingredients belong to the group of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic medicines. Chronada is used to treat the symptoms of knee osteoarthritis in adults with moderate to severe pain, for whom combined treatment with chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride is appropriate.

When not to take Chronada:

  • If you are allergic to sodium chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine hydrochloride, or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • If you are allergic to shellfish, as glucosamine is derived from shellfish.

Warnings and precautions

Before starting treatment with Chronada, discuss it with your doctor or pharmacist:

  • If you have impaired glucose tolerance, it may be necessary to check your blood sugar levels more frequently before starting treatment with glucosamine.
  • If you have or have had kidney or liver dysfunction, as no studies have been conducted in such patients, and therefore, no specific dosage recommendations can be provided.
  • If you have any serious heart conditions, consult your doctor.

Children and adolescents

Chronada and other medicines

Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all the medicines you are taking, or have recently taken, and about any medicines you plan to take. Be cautious when taking Chronada in combination with other medicines, especially:

  • certain types of medicines used to prevent blood clotting (e.g., warfarin, dicumarol, phenprocoumon, acenocoumarol, and fluindione). The effect of these medicines may be stronger when taken with glucosamine. Patients treated with such combinations of medicines should be closely monitored when starting or stopping glucosamine treatment.
  • or medicines used to treat infections (antibiotics such as tetracycline, chloramphenicol, or penicillin).

For additional information, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
