When considering Glukosamin Apofri, certain precautions should be observed to ensure safe use.

• Consult a healthcare professional before use if you have diabetes, as glucosamine may affect blood glucose levels.

Glucosamine hydrochloride can interact with other substances; awareness of these interactions helps minimize risk.
