I am suffering from severe to moderate knee pain from last 2 years. I visited my family Doc couple of times and he prescribed Glucosamine and Calcium Caps for 1 months but it didn't work. After small research in glass I found that Diacerein 50 mg would be more helpful. I would I to know the dosage and another substitute medicine besides Diacerein.

Diacerein. The recommended starting dose is 50 mg once daily with evening meal for the first 2 to 4 weeks of treatment, after which the recommended daily dose is 50 mg twice daily. The treatment should be taken with food, one with breakfast and the other with evening meal. The capsules must be swallowed intact, without opening them, together with a glass of water.
