Before starting the course, the patient must consult with the attending physician, study the instructions, find out about the prognosis for a certain disease. Correct Application Chondrolone improves the prognosis of many diseases of the musculoskeletal system.

Composition and release form

Chondroprotector belongs to the group of drugs for the correction of potassium-phosphorus metabolism in cartilage and bone tissue. Active ingredient medicine Chondrolone – chondroitin sulfate. The main component is obtained by processing the cartilage tissue of cattle. Non-toxic, safe remedy has a positive effect on the condition of hyaline cartilage.

The drug is intended for intramuscular administration. The package contains 5 or 10 ampoules with lyophysilate (powder) plus a solvent for preparing the composition for injection.

• accelerates the production of valuable components - glycosaminoglycans, which support cartilage health;
• restores metabolic processes in the problem joint;
• stops the destruction of cartilage tissue;
• reduces painful sensations, improves joint mobility;
• accelerates the regeneration of hyaline cartilage cells.

The first results (reduction of pain) are noticeable after 2–4 weeks, but for a lasting effect it is necessary to complete the entire course. The active components of chondroprotectors accumulate in tissues and continue to act even after treatment. Intramuscular injections show results earlier than the tablet form.

• the drug has a little side effects, well tolerated in the vast majority of cases;
• intramuscular administration shortens the duration of treatment and enhances the effect of use;
• chondroitin sulfate is a natural, safe component for the restoration of hyaline cartilage tissue;
• after the course of treatment, the mobility of the joint improves, metabolic processes in the cartilage tissue are normalized.

Indications for use

• osteoarthritis;
• arthropathy;
• intervertebral osteoarthritis.

Important! On early stage For joint pathologies, injections of Chondrolone in combination with drugs from other groups are sufficient. For advanced pathologies with a large percentage of destroyed cartilage tissue, the doctor combines injections with the application of ointments, gels based on chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine, and hyaluronic acid. The most effective way to deliver the active substance to the affected tissues is intra-articular injections. In the most severe cases of articular pathologies, surgical intervention is required.

Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

The active ingredient of Chondroguard, sodium chondroitin sulfate, is a high molecular weight mucopolysaccharide that has positive influence for exchange metabolic processes in hyaline cartilage. It helps reduce degenerative changes in the cartilage tissue of joints, accelerating its restoration processes, stimulates the formation of proteoglycans. Thanks to chondroitin, phosphorus-calcium metabolism is restored, pain is reduced and mobility of the affected joints is improved. In case of degenerative changes in joints with secondary synovitis, treatment with the drug gives positive effect already 2–3 weeks after the start of the course of therapy: the pain syndrome decreases, the severity of clinical manifestations of reactive synovitis decreases significantly, and the range of motion in diseased joints expands. After completing the course of treatment with chondroitin, the therapeutic effect lasts for a long time.

Pharmacokinetics

After intramuscular injection, chondroitin sulfate is rapidly distributed. Already half an hour after administration, its significant concentration is observed in the blood. The maximum concentration (Cmax) of the substance in the blood plasma is reached after 1 hour, then gradually decreases over the course of two days.

Chondroitin accumulates mainly in the cartilage tissue of joints. The synovial membrane does not prevent the penetration of the substance into the joint cavity. Experiments have shown the presence of chondroitin sulfate in synovial fluid 15 minutes after intravenous administration of the drug. The substance then penetrates the cartilage tissue and reaches Cmax there after 48 hours.

Indications for use

• degenerative-dystrophic lesions of the joints and spine: osteoarthrosis of peripheral joints, intervertebral osteoarthrosis and osteochondrosis;
• fractures - to accelerate the formation of callus.

Contraindications

• thrombophlebitis;
• bleeding and increased bleeding;
• pregnancy and lactation period;
• childhood;
• increased individual sensitivity to chondroitin or any of the auxiliary ingredients of the drug.

Chondrolon or Chondrogard - which is better?

Medicine does not stand still, it develops. Today there are a lot of drugs that have one active ingredient and a clinical-pharmaceutical group. But each drug, even if it is an analogue, has several distinctive characteristics, identifying which will help you make your choice.

These drugs are used only as prescribed by a doctor.

What is the difference between Chondrolon and Chondrogard?

First of all, you need to determine the main active ingredient. The composition of both is the same - chondroitin sulfate, capable of regulating metabolism in cartilage tissue. If we compare them in terms of the composition of their auxiliary components, there are differences. X-guard contains benzyl alcohol (9 mg), due to which the drug has a characteristic specific odor.

Secondly, there is a difference in pharmacokinetics. Despite the fact that both heat up equally in the synovial fluid, they are eliminated from the body in different ways. X-lon is excreted by the kidneys within 24 hours, and X-gard is excreted in the same way, but only after 48 hours.

Release form and dosage

• Chondroguard is intended only for intramuscular administration: 100 mg and 200 mg.
• Chondrolone is also prescribed for intramuscular injection, but it is available only in 100 mg doses.

The dosage of the drugs and the course of treatment are the same (25 – 30 injections of 0.1 g per day). Starting from the 4th injection, the dose of the drug is doubled (up to 200 mg). In this case, it is more convenient (and a little more financially profitable) to use X-guard; unlike your opponent, it is available at 200 mg.

Differences in the list of indications and contraindications

• osteoarthritis of the spine and peripheral joints.

• intervertebral osteoarthritis;
• for the rapid formation of callus that arose after a fracture.

Both cannot be used during pregnancy, lactation, childhood, thrombophlebitis or a tendency to bleeding, with strong sensitivity to the active substance.

There are also no differences in possible side effects. Allergic reactions are indicated for both ( itchy skin, urticaria or dermatitis) and minor hemorrhages at the injection site.

Which is more profitable?

Since usually the course of treatment is no less than 25 injections, taking into account the increase in dosage in the process, it is more profitable to take X-Guard. The cost of ampoules with a volume of 2 ml (10 pcs) is within 1200 rubles, and the same number of ampoules, but 1 ml of x-lon will cost from 850 rubles.

Probably, everything is individual, but for example, Chondrogard was the best choice for me among the chondroprotectors. I pierce it twice a year, 30 injections each, the first three are 1 mg each, the remaining 27 are 2 mg each. I give injections every other day, according to the doctor’s recommended schedule. I want to say that relief comes after a week of use, but the most important thing is not to quit, to take the entire course, then the effect will last for six months. This important point. For the price it suits me too. I tried more expensive analogues, but did not notice any difference in effectiveness. There are no side effects from Chondrogard or anything else expensive analogues, so I don’t see any point in overpaying. This drug is well tolerated, I have no complaints about my health. This is my experience, maybe it will be useful to someone. The only thing I want to note is that you should definitely consult a doctor before using any medication, and do not self-medicate.

I want to say that my husband has a hernia in his spine. At one time he was advised to use Chondroguard. He completed the course and felt relief immediately. Before that, he simply lived on painkillers. After the course of injections, he was also advised to do special exercises. In general, he is pleased with the result.

For a long time I had problems with my knee joints, doctors prescribed various drugs, but I want to say special effect there wasn't. Haven't asked for help yet private clinic to an orthopedist, he was the one who prescribed a puncture, at the end of the course the pain went away, I hope for good.

Some time ago, my back started to really bother me, especially in cervical spine, at first I attributed it to sedentary work, and tried to take away the pain, various ointments on one's own. But since the pain did not go away, I still had to go to the hospital; it turned out to be osteochondrosis. The doctor recommended a course of injections, she gave 30 injections in total, at first they injected 100 mg, then the dose was increased to 200 mg. It became easier after about a week and a half, and now I feel generally great. My back doesn't bother me at all.

Tell me, Julia, have you prescribed anything else?

They also prescribed Milgamma and vitamin B. Well, plus, of course, exercise therapy

Me long time I was bothered by pain in my knee, it was hard to get out of bed and do anything. I was treated by a neurologist at the clinic, but unfortunately the expected relief did not come, although I received postal injections for 3 weeks. Then I went to a private clinic, was examined, and it turned out that I had arthrosis knee joint, they prescribed chondroguard to inject in addition to the rest. At first I was injected with 100 mg every other day, and then the dose was increased to 200. The pain in my knee has gone. On at the moment the pain no longer bothers me.

4 most effective analogues of the drug Chondrogard

If in medicinal purposes it is planned to purchase the drug Chondroguard; analogues also need to be considered. Sometimes it is not possible to use the prescribed drug, so the choice is made from a number of drugs that are similar in composition or principle of action. Chondroguard is offered in ampoules (1 and 2 ml). The drug is administered intramuscularly. It is produced by a Russian company, the average price is 880 rubles/1 ml of substance.

Substitute for which release form to choose

Drugs in this group are offered in different forms: tablets, capsules, gel, cream, powder for suspension, solution for injection. To fully replace the Chondroguard product, you need to select a general-action analogue. It can be tablets or injection solution, lyophilisate.

If you use a cream or other drug local action, the result will be weaker, since such drugs are used to partially or completely eliminate the symptoms of a pathological condition.

For this reason, products for external use cannot act as a full-fledged substitute for Chondrogard. The price of such a medicine is noticeably lower than the drug in injections. However, this is not a reason to purchase gel/cream. It is better to consider cheap analogues of Chondrogard in the form of an injection solution. For comparison, the price of this drug is higher than that of other similar drugs.

It is believed that Russian drugs more affordable. In fact, there are foreign analogues that are offered at low cost, for example, Drastop.

This means that Drastop can be replaced with Chondroguard without losing the quality of treatment. Auxiliary components: benzyl alcohol, purified water for injection, sodium hydroxide, The solution used for injections is transparent with a faint yellow tint.

The active compound has a cumulative effect and is quickly absorbed. Its highest concentration is achieved 1 hour after use, and after two days the amount of chondroitin gradually decreases, weakening the effect of the drug.

Indications for use:

• intervertebral osteoarthrosis, osteochondrosis;
• damage to peripheral joints during the development of degenerative processes (osteoarthritis).

• hypersensitivity to one of the components;
• disorders of the hematopoietic system (tendency to bleeding);
• For thrombophlebitis, it is prohibited to use Drastop.

While bearing a child, and even during lactation, it is better to refuse treatment, since studies of the effect of chondroitin in combination with the above excipients were not carried out. Therapy with Drastop can be performed if the probable risk exceeds possible harm. Treatment is carried out in courses with a break of 6 months. If side effects occur, therapy is interrupted. These include:

• skin allergies (erythema, urticaria, dermatitis);
• hemorrhage at the site of drug administration;
• swelling.

Action of Drastop

The drug has a positive effect on cartilage tissue, promotes normalization metabolic processes on cellular level. A natural substance called chondroitin is found in cartilage and connective tissue. Medical therapy Drastop ensures an increase in its quantity. Functions of chondroitin:

• positive effect on phosphorus-calcium metabolism;
• reducing the intensity of bone tissue resorption, stopping the process of calcium loss;
• the speed of recovery of affected areas increases;
• degenerative processes stop developing;
• During treatment with chondroitin, recovery occurs joint capsule, cartilaginous surfaces of joints;
• the active substance in the composition of Drastop helps to increase the elasticity of tissues and prevents their excessive compression;
• chondroitin preserves the structure and properties of synovial fluid;
• a chondroprotector reduces the intensity of development of a pathological condition such as osteoarthritis, eliminates symptoms partially or completely;
• thanks to the substance chondroitin sulfate, the process of hyaluron formation is normalized;
• The active component in the drug Drastop reduces the likelihood of enzymatic breakdown of hyaluron.

Drug Mucosat

This is another one cheap substitute Chondrogard products. It is offered at average price 665 RUR/5 ampoules (2 ml each). Active component is chondroitin sulfate. This medicine contains purified water for injection and benzyl alcohol as auxiliary compounds. The dosage of the active substance in the drug Mucosat is the same as in the previously discussed drug Drastop.

The product has a positive effect on cartilage and connective tissues. The principle of action of the drugs Mucosat and Drastop is similar. Thanks to chondroitin, the need for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is reduced. This substance is effective means, which participates in replacement therapy in cases where degenerative processes have developed strongly.

The main advantage of Mucosat is that after completion of the course of treatment, the active compound continues to have a positive effect on cartilage tissue. This is due to the cumulative effect of the drug. Improvement in joint diseases can be noticed after a few weeks. Indications for use are degenerative-dystrophic processes of any nature on different areas musculoskeletal system:

• tendency to bleeding due to disorders of the hematopoietic system;
• thrombophlebitis;
• intolerance to the active compound.

Unlike the previously discussed analogues, Chondrolone is produced in ampoules, but inside it contains a substance in the form of a powder (lyophilisate) for preparing a solution for injection. The active compound is chondroitin sulfate, which is obtained from cattle cartilage.

The principle of action of Chondrolone, Mucosat and the drug Drastop is similar. The drug in question is prescribed when symptoms appear, as well as on the basis of research results that show the development of degenerative-dystrophic processes. This may be the cause of osteochondrosis, osteoarthrosis and others. pathological conditions, which usually cover hard tissues musculoskeletal system.

• thrombophlebitis;
• increased sensitivity to chondroitin;
• tendency to bleed.

Before use, the lyophilisate must be dissolved in purified water for injection (1 ml). This is main drawback the drug Chondrolone, however, the low prices for the drug partially compensate for this minus. The regimen for using the medicine is unchanged: injections are given for a month, and after six months the therapy is repeated. Besides allergies different types(dermatitis, urticaria), as well as hemorrhages, there are no other side effects with Chondrolon. Nausea and vomiting rarely occur.

Drugs that should be avoided during treatment with Chondrolone:

The drug Artradol
