Medical applications
PainInflammationOsteoarthritisStiffness
Lococerin 50mg Capsule contains Diacerein 50mg, an anthraquinone derivative used primarily for the management of osteoarthritis. Diacerein exerts its therapeutic effects by inhibiting interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), a pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in cartilage degradation and inflammation in osteoarthritic joints. This mechanism helps reduce cartilage breakdown and alleviates symptoms such as joint pain and stiffness.
