Arthrite: clinically proven to provide sustained pain-relief from Osteoarthritis

A breakthrough phyto-medicine for Osteoarthritis (OA) further proved its efficacy with the first local clinical study that shows sustained pain-relief to individuals suffering from the joint disease that affects 11 million Filipinos.*

Arthrite, the first traditional herbal medicine approved by the Philippine Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for joint pain, consists of 14 herbal components that work synergistically to reduce pain caused by osteoarthritis. Apart from pain relief, Arthrite contains several active herbal ingredients which are responsible for reducing joint inflammation, pain management and improving joint mobility.

To further prove the efficacy and safety of Arthrite in providing symptomatic relief to patients with mild to moderate osteoarthritis, a local clinical study was conducted by Dr. Poblete. The clinical trial tested 60 patients, with ages ranging from 45 years old and up, who were clinically diagnosed with mild-moderate osteoarthritis. For the duration of 8 weeks, patients were prescribed to take 2 Arthrite capsules after breakfast and 2 capsules after dinner, for a total of 120 capsules for a period of 2 months. Patients were also prescribed to take 1 tablet in the morning of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) called Meloxicam as a rescue medication.

No side effects were reported during the clinical trials and the physicians global evaluation revealed a positive result from moderately effective to symptoms free after 2 months of treatment. Meanwhile, Patient’s global assessment shows beneficial effect specifically to pain. Majority of the patients were symptom-free after 2 months of treatment.

Arthrite Soft Gel Capsule is available in all Mercury Drug Store nationwide at the price of P32.00 per capsule.

Due to the effectiveness of Arthrite, it has been recommended to be part of the treatment regimen of patients with mild to moderate osteoarthritis. For more information about Arthrite, please visit www.multicare.com.ph.
