New Review on Pharmacological Therapies
August 15, 2022
A new review titled “Pharmacological Therapies for Connective Tissue Fibrosis in Orthopaedics” by N. Disser et.al has been published in The American Journal of Sports Medicine.
They summarise by stating “Based on our review, it would appear that over-the counter food supplements and ‘‘nutraceuticals’’ hold promise as agents to prevent connective tissue fibrosis with a good safety profile. In particular, EGCG and quercetin appear to be safe and reasonable candidates for further study. FDA-approved medications that may be considered for off-label use for prevention of connective tissue fibrosis include losartan, anakinra, and sotatercept.”
