Question Does this medication have ingredients that cause abdominal pain and diarrhea?
Answer Mild heartburn, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea have been reported in less than 2% of patients taking glucosamine with chondroitin sulfate, but there have not been reports of abdominal pain or severe symptoms. If you believe you are having symptoms from this supplement I would recommend that you stop taking it and call your doctor.
