Sarapin vs. Cortisone

Sarapin and Cortisone are similar to each other in some ways. They can both be used to reduce inflammation and they both provide pain relief. Also, they are recognized by the FDA and AMA, and both require prescriptions for treatments requiring injections. Lastly, they are both recognized as possible treatments for the ailments mentioned.

However, Sarapin and cortisone have differences as well. Sarapin is a biological medicine, meaning it is acquired from a naturally occurring organism. Cortisone is a chemical medicine, meaning it is made from a chemical process. Unlike cortisone which can be toxic, Sarapin is non-toxic and does not accumulate in the organs.

Cortisone may cause side effects including thinning of skin, easy bruising, weight gain, puffiness of the face, increase in blood pressure, cataract formation, osteoporosis, and avascular necrosis which is rare but can cause serious damage.

Sarapin has no known side effects. It has no damaging or weakening effect on cartilages, bones, or tendons, which makes it possible to administer Sarapin treatments multiple times within a short period for maximum pain relief.
