Diacerein is a medicine used to treat joint diseases such as osteoarthritis (swelling and pain in the joints). Following an EU-wide review of diacerein, its use has been restricted in order to minimise the risks of severe diarrhoea and liver problems.
Diacerein is entirely converted into rhein before reaching the systemic circulation. Rhein itself is either eliminated by the renal route (20%) or conjugated in the liver to rhein glucuronide (60%) and rhein sulfate (20%); these metabolites are mainly eliminated by the kidney.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
