Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you have probably osteoarthritis in your polio effected limb. It is Okay that you are talking cartigen forte.Its dose is two tablets daily.It has no side effects. Other very good drug is Diacerine 50 mg daily which act in synergy with cartigen forte. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
