How Colahyal Capsule Works
Colahyal is a combination of three medicines: sodium hyaluronate, chondroitin and collagen peptide which relieve osteoarthritis symptoms. Sodium hyaluronate is the salt form of hyaluronic acid which reduces the friction in the joints and helps them to work smoothly. Chondroitin and collagen peptide are proteoglycan synthesis stimulators which help in the building of cartilage (soft tissue around the joints) leading to joint repair. Apart from this, collagen peptide also lowers pain and inflammation (redness and swelling).
How to Use Colahyal Capsule
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Colahyal may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
