Alflutop injections and pills - instructions for use, reviews and analogues of the drug

Alflutop is a unique medicinal product from the group of chondroprotectors,on the improvement of metabolic processes in the cartilaginous tissue. The drug is indispensable in the treatment of pathology of the musculoskeletal system, accompanied by degenerative changes in the cartilage. It not only contributes to the restoration of cartilaginous tissue, but also effectively combats pain syndrome and inflammation. Alflutop is able to slow down the destructive process in articular cartilage and stimulate the regeneration of healthy tissues.

In recent years, joint diseases have significantly "grown younger" and if earlier similar problems were the companions of elderly patients, now in the doctor's office you can increasingly meet people of the most efficient age. In the fight against such pathologies, success is largely determined by timely diagnosis and the correct tactics of treatment, which is quite long, as the cartilage tissue is restored slowly.

Alflutop has a unique natural composition, its basis is a bioactive concentrate obtained by extraction. Let's get acquainted with Alflutop closer and find out how the drug works and under what conditions it is applied.

Alflutop - description of the preparation

Alflutop has chondroprotective, analgesic and anti-inflammatory action. The main component of the drug is a bio extract extracted from several varieties of small marine fish. This substance is actively included in the metabolic processes occurring in the cartilaginous tissue, and replenishes the lack of useful substances.

Bioconcentrate supplies articular cartilage tissues with amino acids, mucopolysaccharides and trace elements. Alflutop prevents the destruction of normal cartilaginous structures, has an analgesic effect and promotes the gradual restoration of the tissues of the articular cartilage. As a result, painful sensations during movement and at rest are significantly reduced, and the volume of motor activity of the affected joints expands.

The drug normalizes the production of hyaluronic acid, inhibits the activity of the enzyme hyaluronidase, which destroys the intercellular membranes. The medication has a positive effect on the quality of the synovial fluid, thereby achieving an anti-inflammatory and regenerative effect.

Why is the optimal content of hyaluronic acid in cartilage important? This substance from the group of polysaccharides is not only a part of the nervous and connective tissue, but it is also contained in biological fluids, being the most important element of the cartilaginous cells, which contributes to the formation of their outer shells. With a lack of hyaluronic acid, the shells break down and the elasticity of the capillaries decreases, which leads to the development of a degenerative process.

Proteoglycans, which are part of the drug, increase the thickness of bone tissue and cartilage and normalize the hydrophilicity. Alflutop is able to reduce the permeability of capillaries, making them more dense and elastic, improves blood circulation and stimulates metabolism in cartilaginous tissue. The complex effect of the components of the preparation ensures the activation of regenerative processes and regenerates the structure of the cartilage.

As a result of the use of the drug, a 90% decrease in pain at rest is observed, and when walking, the volume of motor activity of the affected joints expands, swelling and swelling disappear. Articular pains have a very negative impact on the quality of life of patients, they make it difficult to walk, climb the stairs, remind themselves of themselves even at rest.

Thanks to Alflutop these symptoms disappear, and the patient can lead a full-fledged lifestyle. The pronounced anti-inflammatory effect is noted already at the end of the first week of taking the drug, the active substance remains permanently in the synovial fluid, cartilage and bones and continues to have a therapeutic effect up to 6 months.

Composition and form of release

The chondroprotector contains a bio extract from several species of marine fish,( sprat, whiting, anchovies) containing the following substances:

• Amino acids
• Proteoglycans
• Chondroitin sulfate
• Hyaluronic acid
• Peptides
• Microelements( sodium, magnesium, calcium, zinc, iron, potassium, copper)

The drug is released as a clear, brownish-yellow solution for injection. In 1 ml of the solution contains 100 μl of biologically active concentrate + additional components( water, phenol).Medication is produced in ampoules of 1 ml and 2 ml, which are packed in cardboard packs for 10 and 5 pieces.

Instruction for use

The drug is prescribed for the treatment of osteoarthrosis( primary and secondary), osteochondrosis, spondylosis, osteoarthrosis of joints and other degenerative lesions of the musculoskeletal system. In addition, Alflutope is effective in coxarthrosis, gonarthrosis, fibromyalgia, paradontopathy. The drug is often prescribed during the recovery period after surgical operations on the joints.

According to the instructions for the use of Alflutop, the drug is prescribed only to adults. For osteochondrosis and polyostoarthrosis, 1 injection is done daily( Alflutop 1ml ).The drug must be injected deep into the muscle. The course of treatment is usually 20 days.

When large joints are affected, when the disease has severely damaged the cartilage, inject 1-2 ml of the solution into each affected joint. The course of treatment provides for 5-6 injections in each joint. Between the injections, an interval of 3-4 days should be observed. To achieve a pronounced effect, the doctor can prescribe a certain combination of intramuscular and intra-articular injections. Such an integrated approach allows to quickly eliminate inflammation and alleviate the patient's condition.

To maintain a stable result and further restoration of the cartilaginous tissue, it is advisable to repeat the course of treatment after 6 months. After the course of treatment, patients note the disappearance of pain, symptoms of inflammation and partial restoration of joint function.

But since chondroprotectors do not have a momentary effect and the effect of their application develops gradually, for a long time, repeated courses of therapy will help to achieve the maximum positive result.

In patients with intolerance to seafood, the risk of allergic reactions increases significantly. Possible allergic manifestations in the form of itching dermatitis, redness of the skin, itching and burning at the injection site.

Reviews about the use of injections and tablets Alflutop

Review No. 1

I suffer from osteochondrosis, back pain that is of a periodic nature. I used to use various creams and ointments. Several times he stabbed Diclofenac with courses. The injections helped, but the effect was temporary. I decided to go to the doctor who appointed me Alflutop.

This is a natural preparation, the composition of which allows to restore cartilaginous tissues. The only drawback of this drug is its high cost. One package costs almost two thousand rubles. In my case, the course of treatment lasted 20 days - one ampoule a day.

Therefore I had to purchase two packages at once. However, the improvement became noticeable by the end of the first week, and the drug acted not only on the sore spot, but also on the general condition. The doctor advised me to repeat the course in six months, so I save money to fix the positive result.

Review No. 2

Because of calcium leaching from the body, problems with joints have appeared. The doctor appointed me a comprehensive treatment. One of the drugs is Alflutop. I was unpleasantly surprised by the price, and even more distrust caused by the fact that this dietary supplements. However, I nevertheless decided to follow the advice of my doctor and bought two packages that cost me a pretty big sum.

To complete the course of therapy, it was necessary to stab the drug intramuscularly for 20 days. I also took other pills, and also smeared problem spots with special ointment. A few days after the start of the drug, I felt that the pain was less pronounced.

After another two weeks, I completely got rid of my problems. Alflutope proved to be an effective remedy for me, it works well in combination with other drugs. In 6 months I'm going to repeat the course on the recommendation of a doctor. Allergic reactions, which are so actively written in the network, were not observed.

Review No.3

Alflutop was prescribed to me by a neurologist to relieve cervical osteochondrosis. Then I experienced severe pain in the cervical region. The disease became acute, so I decided to immediately buy the recommended drug. I had to pay a large amount - for 20 ampoules paid about 4 thousand rubles.

I hoped that once the drug is so expensive, then the quality is at an altitude and it will save me from suffering. I did not notice the effect of the drug. Even there was a desire to give up all this, and stop kicking Alflutop. However, I decided to bring the course of treatment to its logical conclusion. During the period of therapy, there were no abrupt changes.

Yes, the pain became less pronounced, but it still had a place to be. After the last ampoule, I no longer experienced the usual discomfort, it became much easier. Unpleasant feelings are only after hours of work at the computer. But for such a costly means the effect is very weak, there are much more effective and cheap drugs.
