Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to compare pain scores, WOMAC total and subscores, actual and change of joint space width and the rate of gastrointestinal side effects at 4, 8, 12, and 24 weeks between dual-therapy of diacerein and glucosamine versus a mono-therapy of glucosamine in OA patients
