UnlabelledThe prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA) increases in proportion to age, so in the population of people over 65 years of age. The pathogenesis of OA is based on inflammation of the cartilage tissue of the joint, which leads to damage to the cartilage, activation of signaling pathways and increased levels of cytokines.AimTo study the literature data on bone and cartilage remodeling with the development of resorptive processes and discuss possible algorithms and recommendations for the management of patients with OA on the background of chondroprotective therapy.Materials And MethodsA comprehensive analysis of data presented in open sources, published and available on such resources as PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, and Library.ResultsAccording to the available recommendations and the opinion of experts, among the methods of OA therapy, drugs containing pharmaceutical chondroitin sulfate are currently being discussed, which in a number of studies has demonstrated high antiresorptive effectiveness.ConclusionThe use of drugs based on pharmaceutical chondroitin sulfate (Chondroguard) contributes not only to the reduction of pain in OA, but also has a positive effect on the processes of inflammation, including those associated with age-related changes in the body.
