Diseases associated with disorders of the musculoskeletal system are among the most common in the modern world. Heavy physical labor, malnutrition, injuries lead to intervertebral hernias, rapid wear of the cartilage tissue of the knee joints, and osteochondrosis.
In order for existing diseases, as well as only developing deviations, to be tolerated more easily and have fewer negative consequences, specialists prescribe complex treatment, including analgesics, vitamin complexes, NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). In addition, doctors prescribe drugs to restore cartilage, one of which is Discus compositum.
Panacea or dummy?
The use of homeopathic and herbal medicines in the treatment of chronic diseases associated with the destruction of cartilage, many doctors do not considerappropriate and used as a last resort when other chemical drugs have failed.
A rare exception are chiropractors who have been developing their treatment system for decades. It is worth remembering that any homeopathic remedy works, but has its own characteristics in the application. Discus Compositum is no exception to the rule.
Composition of the drug
As homeopaths say: "Like cures like". The composition of any homeopathic preparation will include substances of natural, mineral and animal origin that can improve blood circulation, relieve inflammation, and also stimulate cell regeneration.
Discus compositum has all of the above properties. The instructions for use indicate components such as:
- Vitamins (ascorbic acid, B vitamins (B1, B2, B6), nicotinamide.
- Amino acids (lipoic; coenzyme A).
- Acids (oxaloacetic, picric, salicylic).

- Vegetable components (meadow lumbago, black cohosh, cudweed marsh, wild rosemary, horse chestnut, uterine horns, bitter gourd, cinchona, common barberry).
- Animal origin (dilutions from adrenal glands, cartilage, bone marrow, etc.).
Properties
Thanks to such a rich composition, thisthe drug activates the metabolic processes in the body, which allows the natural way to improve the general condition of patients not only with chronic diseases, but also in the period of exacerbation.
In the instructions "Discus compositum" you can read that it has analgesic, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, restorative properties. But all the characteristics of the solution are connected precisely with the activation of one's own immune system at the cellular level.
Thus, the dosage form helps to relieve pain in places of injury, "forces" cartilage tissue to be renewed, and also improves the access of nutrients and oxygen. Helps cleanse the body, relieve swelling and increase tissue elasticity.
Have you been to the doctor?
Any uncontrolled treatment can lead to a deterioration in the patient's condition, as well as to the development of complications in the form of concomitant diseases. But, if the therapy is scheduled step by step by the attending physician, the effectiveness of these measures is obvious.
Doctors prescribe it when:
- Degenerate s alt deposits.
- Disturbances in the formation of the spinal column in childhood.
- Pain in the acute phase, as well as with incomplete paralysis of the limbs.
- Periostitis, rickets, pustular acne, nocturnal bone pain.
- Premature aging of cartilage tissue, increased wear and tear of cartilage in the joints.
- Destruction of cartilage and bone tissue of various origins.

Contraindications
The most common contraindications for any drug is the individual sensitivity of the patient to the components of the drug. After all, if you have intolerance to one of the ingredients, adverse reactions are possible in the form of skin rashes, itching, redness.
In addition, there are cases when "Discus compositum" gave such a reaction as an increase in salivation.
Therefore, it is not recommended to use it during lactation and for children under the age of six without a doctor's prescription. But since the composition does not contain substances that affect the nervous system and the rate of reactions, drivers of vehicles can use it.
Can expectant mothers and children have Discus Compositum?
The peculiarity of the physiological state of pregnant women is that any drug taken can enter the bloodstream, and with it into the body of the unborn baby. Therefore, many doctors take into account the benefits brought to the expectant mother and the harm caused to the fetus. If a doctor prescribes this drug, then he believes that the benefit to the mother will outweigh the harm to the child.
The most optimal age for children to receive "Discus compositum" in the instructions for use is six years old. But the control of the attending physician is desirable for children and adolescents, until they reach the age of eighteen.
How to use it correctly?
Complex homeopathic medicine is produced in the forminjection solution. Treatment is carried out by intramuscular, subcutaneous injections from one to three times a week.
Given the accompanying complications, degenerative features, the doctor may extend the period of taking the drug. The standard course of treatment is from one to one and a half months.
For children, the dosage must be adjusted. So, for one procedure, from 0.73 ml to 1.1 ml is used. In addition, it is not uncommon for the injection solution to be used orally. The ampoule is diluted in a small amount of water.
Features in application
It is worth remembering that homeopathic remedies can worsen the general condition of the patient at the beginning of treatment. Therefore, experts advise to carry it out only under the supervision of a doctor. If the general condition has not improved over time, then the dosage form should be discontinued.
Moreover, it is worth checking the composition to be sure that there is no allergy to any of the components.
Reviews
It is impossible to say that the use of "Discus compositum" gives immediate results. Many patients who have used this drug give mixed reviews after using it. First of all, this is due to the fact that any of the homeopathic remedies works on a cumulative basis. A noticeable effect is noticeable a month after the end of the course of treatment.
People who received "Discus compositum" in injections as a systemic treatment, along with other specific drugs, were satisfied. With anti-inflammatory drugsthe pain syndrome was stopped, and this dosage form was used to restore cartilage tissue and joint mobility.
It is also noted that one injection per week is not enough. Three intramuscular injections every other day for six weeks is the most effective treatment. The main thing is that the drug has proven itself well in pediatric practice in children suffering from deviations in the development of the spinal column.
Using the drug strictly according to the instructions, moms give only positive reviews about "Discus compositum". After all, homeopathic remedies give more benefits to the body and do not harm other systems. The effect after taking is long, but it is recommended to undergo a course of treatment once a year if the disease has severe complications.
But there are still more negative reviews from Discus Compositum. Firstly, these are patients who used it as a prophylactic agent in monotherapy. They made injections once a week for a month, which already indicates an insufficient course of procedures.
Secondly, these are people who are waiting for a momentary result after the first ampoule, forgetting that a tangible effect from homeopathic medicines comes no earlier than two or even three weeks after the end of the course. In addition, it must be remembered that during an exacerbation, treatment is more complex and requires an integrated approach, and not a single application according to the instructions of "Discus compositum". Feedback from consumers, respectively, and therefore negative.
Third, of course,drug cost. On average, its cost ranges from 815 rubles to 1500 rubles, depending on the region. This greatly reduces the number of people willing to use it.
Osteochondrosis, intervertebral hernia - rather painful diseases. If it is correct, and most importantly, on time, to approach their treatment, it is possible, although incomplete, but quite effective therapy for recovery. The main thing is to approach this issue thoughtfully and patiently fulfill all the prescriptions of the attending physician.
