Document Use of Supplements for Osteoarthritis

You may see supplements for osteoarthritis pain (chondroitin, glucosamine, etc) pop up on home med lists.

Some people swear by them or want to give them a try...especially if topical or oral NSAIDs (diclofenac, etc) aren’t an option.

Use this as a reminder to ask about supplement use when taking med histories. Cue patients by saying something like “What meds do you take that don’t need a prescription?”
