How long can I stop taking aminos?

  Aminoglucose needs to be taken for 1-3 months to gradually take effect, and the exact length of time before the drug can be discontinued needs to be decided by the doctor according to the specific conditions of the patient’s recovery.  Aminoglucose, known as glucosamine, has the function of protecting the cartilage of joint surface, slowing down the destruction of joint surface cartilage, promoting the secretion of arthritis, promoting the repair of joint cartilage, and relieving joint inflammation, etc. It is useful for preventing osteoarthritis and slowing down the progress of osteoarthritis. Patients with mild arthritis can take it for 1 month to see the effect. If the patient has a longer course of disease and more severe symptoms, he/she needs to take the medicine for 3 months, together with intra-articular injection of sodium vitrate treatment. In severe osteoarthritis, if conservative treatment is not effective, surgical treatment such as joint replacement is required.  During the treatment of arthritis, attention should be paid to resting the knee joint to keep it warm, avoiding excessive or strenuous exercise of the joint, avoiding as much as possible such exercises as going upstairs and climbing mountains, and cooperating with local physical therapy for more effective treatment.
