Actions and Spectrum:Â
diacerein’s primary mechanism of action involves its effects on the inflammatory processes and cartilage metabolism within joints:Â
diacerein’s spectrum of activity is primarily focused on osteoarthritis:Â
Frequency not definedÂ
Stomach discomfort and painÂ
VomitingÂ
Urine discolorationÂ
DiarrheaÂ
NauseaÂ
Yellowing of eyes and skinÂ
Black box warning:Â
NoneÂ
Contraindications/caution:Â
Contraindications:Â
Caution:Â
Pregnancy consideration: diacerein is generally contraindicated during pregnancy due to concerns about potential effects on the developing fetus.Â
Lactation: It is also not recommended during breastfeeding, as the effects on the nursing infant are not well established.Â
Pregnancy category:Â
Category A: well-controlled and Satisfactory studies show no risk to the fetus in the first or later trimester.Â
Category B: there was no evidence of risk to the fetus in animal studies, and there were not enough studies on pregnant women.Â
Category C: there was evidence of risk of adverse effects in animal reproduction studies, and no adequate evidence in human studies must take care of potential risks in pregnant women.   Â
Category D: adequate data with sufficient evidence of human fetal risk from various platforms, but despite the potential risk, and used only in emergency cases for potential benefits.   Â
Category X: Drugs listed in this category outweigh the risks over benefits. Hence these categories of drugs need to be avoided by pregnant women.   Â
Category N: There is no data available for the drug under this categoryÂ
Pharmacology:Â
diacerein’s mechanism of action is multifaceted and involves several key aspects:Â
Pharmacokinetics:Â
AbsorptionÂ
diacerein is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration. It undergoes biotransformation in the liver to its active metabolite, rhein.Â
DistributionÂ
The active metabolite, rhein, is distributed throughout the body, including joint tissues.Â
MetabolismÂ
diacerein is metabolized into rhein through glucuronidation in the liver. Rhein is the compound responsible for the majority of diacerein’s therapeutic effects.Â
Elimination and ExcretionÂ
Both diacerein and its active metabolite, rhein, are excreted mainly through the urine. The elimination half-life of diacerein is relatively short, while rhein’s half-life is more prolonged.Â
Administration:Â
Oral administrationÂ
diacerein is typically taken orally with water, and it is recommended to take it with a meal to help minimize gastrointestinal side effects. Taking it with food can also enhance its absorption.Â

Generic Name: diacerein Â
Why do we use diacerein?Â
diacerein is primarily used for the treatment of osteoarthritis. It has anti-inflammatory and potential disease-modifying effects on joint structures. Here are the common uses of diacerein:Â
