The medicines you have mentioned works only in some cases of osteoarthritis of knee. This depends on the grade of osteoarthritis seen clinically and on X-rays of the knee. Better is to go with the specific physiotherapy protocols made for patients of knee pain. Medicines have a limited role in cases of osteoarthritis. Consult some good orthopedic surgeon who can really guide you about the management protocol for osteoarthritis/knee pain.
