Does glucosamine have any dangerous drug interactions. "Jay Stallworth" asked: > Does glucosamine have any dangerous drug interactions. According to information available on the internet, glucosamine does not have any dangerous drug interactions. Glucosamine may interact with certain diuretics, necessitating higher doses of the diuretic. Glucosamine may increase the anti-inflammatory activity of NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, necessitating lower doses of the NSAID. > "Jay Stallworth" asked: >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Glucosamine may increase the anti-inflammatory activity of NSAIDs such > as ibuprofen, necessitating lower doses of the NSAID.

But a very recent article (I think in the New England Journal) deminstrates that Glucosamine (with or without Chondroitin) has absolutely no beneficial effects on arthritis. Best, Bob Robert A.

IIRC, the article said that it seemed to work in some situations and not in others. The way it was reported on the news suggested that it might work better for acute pain than for chronic pain. |
