Mucosat is a drug that improves the structure of cartilage tissue.
pharmachologic effect
Mucosat has anti-inflammatory effects.

The use of Mucosat helps to increase the release of intra-articular fluid and joint mobility, reduce pain and inflammation, and reduce the need for prescribing non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
