Supplement for hand osteoarthritis
Domanda
Good evening, I am a 54-year-old woman, in menopause for 2 years, with osteopenia, hand osteoarthritis and thumb-base osteoarthritis. Blood tests show that I do not have any rheumatic disease. For about a year the middle finger of my left hand has been slightly swollen. With an anti-inflammatory and topical cream, the pain disappeared within 5 days. After ultrasound and X-ray, the rheumatologist prescribed Donegall Plus sachets for two months followed by a two-month break. I did not get much benefit. Could I benefit from IALUFLEX sachets? Thank you for your reply. Kind regards, Lucia

Good morning. Compared with Donegal, the Ialuflex formula also contains hydrolysed collagen, which may be useful in these situations when taken in 60-90 day cycles. You could ask your doctor whether to use a loading dose of 2 sachets for 3 weeks and then continue with 2, possibly combining it during acute phases with Flogox, whose features you can view at the following link: https://www.nutrifarma.it/articolazioni/flogox.
