Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. Cartigen-Duo tablets containing Glucosamine are claimed to help in building joint cartilage, but the results can vary. They may be more effective in the early stages of the disease than in the later stages. Miol-OD is a multivitamin supplement that you can try to see if it provides any relief. Both medications are generally safe but may cause gastric upset in some cases. For better results, consider visiting a physiotherapist to learn quadriceps strengthening exercises. Additionally, you can apply Volini gel (Diclofenac) locally on the leg to alleviate pain.
