Can glucosamine hydrochloride capsules be taken during menstruation?
Disease description:
My shoulder joint is extremely painful, and my doctor prescribed glucosamine hydrochloride capsules. Can I take glucosamine hydrochloride capsules during my menstrual period?
Glucosamine Hydrochloride Capsules can generally be taken during menstruation. This medication is an amino monosaccharide and does not possess blood-activating properties; therefore, it is safe to take during menstruation and will not interfere with the normal menstrual cycle. However, it must be used strictly as prescribed by a physician—self-medication is not recommended. During menstruation, attention should be paid to keeping the abdomen warm and avoiding exposure to cold or wind.
