It is not contraindicated to combine both preparations. The question is, is there such a necessity?
Structum is a medicine that can be obtained with a prescription. Its indication is adjuvant treatment of osteoarthritis symptoms. The active ingredient is chondroitin sulfate, which has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. It inhibits the progression of osteoarthritis and provides protection to articular cartilage.
If therapy with this drug does not bring the expected results, it is possible to consider introducing another drug that would support the functioning of the joints.
Orton flex, which you mentioned, has a similar direction of action and, in addition to chondroitin sulfate, contains collagen, hyaluronic acid and glucosamine sulfate. However, it is an over-the-counter preparation, a dietary supplement.
It's up to you to decide. However, please remember that all the substances we take end up in our stomach and liver, which are sometimes unnecessarily burdened by the excessive supply of medicines, supplements, vitamins. Therefore, it is always worth considering whether another tablet is necessary and limit yourself to the necessary minimum.
