Colahyal Capsule is a combination of three medicines: sodium hyaluronate, chondroitin, and collagen peptide which relieve osteoarthritis symptoms. Sodium hyaluronate is the salt form of hyaluronic acid which reduces the friction in the joints and helps them to work smoothly. Chondroitin and collagen peptide are proteoglycan synthesis stimulators which help in the building of cartilage (soft tissue around the joints) leading to joint repair. Apart from this, collagen peptide also lowers pain and inflammation (redness and swelling).

Colahyal Capsule helps relieve the symptoms of osteoarthritis. Do light exercise or take physical therapy to strengthen muscles around the affected joint and manage your weight along with taking this medication. Inform your doctor if you are taking any blood thinners like warfarin or if you have any scheduled surgery. Let your doctor know if you are taking any painkillers.
