Clinical reference

Mechanism and pharmacokinetics.

Explore the published evidence for the ingredients in Diacerein 100 mg (MR) Hard-gelatin capsules. Each reference identifies its source formulation and study context.

Ingredient-level reference

Diacerein

Reference for: Diacerein. Source presentation: CAPSULE. Source route: oral.

The cited studies use standard-release capsule. The catalogue entry has a different or unspecified release description; these study values do not establish its absorption profile.

Mechanism of action

Diacerein is an anthraquinone derivative with slow-onset anti-inflammatory activity. The French reference describes laboratory inhibition of interleukin-1 production and reduced collagen-degrading activity; these findings should not be presented as proof of cartilage regeneration in patients.

Pharmacokinetics

Oral diacerein is converted to rhein before systemic circulation. After a 50 mg dose, the reference reports a plasma peak near 2.5 hours. Rhein is approximately 99% protein-bound, with an elimination half-life around 4.5 hours and urinary recovery as unchanged and conjugated material. Severe renal impairment increases exposure. The full reference includes restrictions related to diarrhea and liver injury.

Ingredient-level summary of the cited reference product. Study formulation, route, strength and population govern interpretation; these data do not establish pharmacokinetics or bioequivalence for Walter's formulation or fixed combination.
