A member asked:

For 57+ f with stage-2 osteoarthritis of knee joints, which one is better - uniflexin tablets or collagen peptide along with calcium & vitd medicines?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Osteoarthritis: The best medicine would be vitamin D 1000 units a day along with calcium. I am more concerned with your osteoarthritis of knee joints. There are many ways to control this and you should see a leg specialist as soon as possible - no urgency but no delay. Please let me know how things go.
