Tab Sallaki MR

Question

I’ve been suffering from osteoarthritis in my knees for a few years, and the stiffness and pain have been making it harder for me to do even basic activities like walking or climbing stairs. My doctor recently prescribed Tab Sallaki MR, saying it’s a natural anti-inflammatory medicine that can reduce pain and improve joint mobility.

From what I’ve read, Tab Sallaki MR contains Boswellia serrata (Shallaki), which is known for its powerful anti-inflammatory properties. It works by inhibiting enzymes that cause inflammation, making it a safe and natural alternative to allopathic painkillers.

Has anyone here used Tab Sallaki MR for arthritis or joint pain? How effective was it in reducing stiffness and swelling? How long did it take to see noticeable results, and did it help you regain mobility?

Another concern I have is about side effects. Since Shallaki is natural, my doctor assured me it’s gentle on the stomach, unlike NSAIDs that can cause acidity. But I still want to know if anyone experienced digestive discomfort or other issues while using it.

If you’ve used Tab Sallaki MR, please share your experiences. Did you combine it with physiotherapy or dietary changes for better results? Any tips for managing arthritis naturally would also be appreciated.

Dr. Harsha Joy · Accepted Answer

Tab Sallaki MR, with its primary ingredient Boswellia serrata (Shallaki), is highly regarded for managing osteoarthritis and joint pain due to its anti-inflammatory and cartilage-protecting properties. Many users report a significant reduction in stiffness, swelling, and pain within a few weeks of consistent use, often leading to improved mobility. As a natural remedy, it’s typically gentle on the stomach, making it a safer alternative to NSAIDs. However, some individuals may still experience mild digestive discomfort. Combining it with physiotherapy, anti-inflammatory foods (like turmeric and ginger), and exercises tailored to joint health often enhances results. Proper hydration, weight management, and avoiding inflammatory foods can further support arthritis management.
