SYMPTOMATIC EFFECTS OF DIACEREIN: Data obtained from several clinical trials have demonstrated that relief of joint pain obtained with the interleukin-1 inhibitor diacerein is comparable with that observed with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) after four to six weeks of treatment and that relief persists after treatment withdrawal. Patients taking diacerein are less handicapped, use less NSAID and/or analgesics, and have lower demands for care as well as an improved quality of life. RADIOGRAPHIC FindingsThe ECHODIAH study conducted to evaluate the structure-modifying effect of diacerein in hip osteoarthritis.
