STUDY DESIGN
Case reports of ADR to glucosamine and chondroitin sent to the Therapeutic Goods Administration between 2000 and 2011 were obtained and analysed. The demographic information and severity of the ADR were recorded for individual ADR cases. These reactions were classified according to the Brown et al grading system for generalised hypersensitivity reactions. This included mild hypersensitivity reactions (generalised erythema, urticaria and angioedema) through to moderate hypersensitivity reactions (wheeze, nausea, vomiting, dizziness (presyncope), diaphoresis, chest or throat tightness and abdominal pain), and more severe reactions (hypotension, confusion and collapse).
