    Before using the preparation, it is necessary to consult a doctor to exclude the presence of joint diseases for which other methods of treatment are provided.

    Do not use in children and adolescents (under 18 years of age), since the safety and efficacy of the preparation for such patients have not been established.
    Drivers
    The study of the effect of the preparation on the ability to drive a car and other mechanisms has not been conducted. Care should be taken when driving and performing work requiring attention. In case of drowsiness, fatigue, dizziness or visual impairment, driving and operating machinery is prohibited.

    Overdose

    Overdose cases were not observed with. Given the acute and chronic toxicity studies in animals, symptoms of toxicity are unlikely to occur even when used in doses 200 times the therapeutic dose. However, in case of an overdose, the manifestations of adverse reactions may increase, therefore, it is worthwhile to carry out symptomatic treatment aimed at restoring the water-electrolyte balance.

    Side effects

    The most common adverse reactions associated with glucosamine use are nausea, abdominal pain, indigestion, flatulence, constipation, diarrhea, headache, fatigue, and drowsiness. These adverse reactions are usually transient and mild.

    Interaction

    There are limited data on the possible interaction of preparations with glucosamine, however, there was an increase in INR (international normalized recovery) with the use of oral vitamin K antagonists.Therefore, patients receiving oral vitamin K antagonists should be closely monitored during the initiation or discontinuation of glucosamine therapy. Concomitant treatment with glucosamine can enhance absorption and, therefore, the concentration of tetracyclines in serum. However, the clinical relevance of this interaction is likely to be limited.
    Given the fact that there are only limited data on the possible interaction of glucosamine, special attention should be paid to any modified reaction to changes in the concentration of concomitant preparations used in serum.
