A.Vogel Atrosan Devil’s Claw Tablets
For Aches & Pains
- Relieves muscle and joint pain
- For rheumatic pain, backache or lumbago
- Made from extracts of cultivated Devil’s Claw rather than endangered wild harvested herb
- Can be used with other medicines
Devil’s claw is the common name of the plant Harpagophytum procumbens. The herb is only found in the wild – and only in the Kalahari desert of Southern Africa and even now, it is a difficult plant to cultivate. The root of Devil’s claw is used in herbal remedies for the treatment of muscle and joint pains, backache and rheumatism.
Atrosan® Devil’s Claw is a licensed herbal rheumatism product made from extracts of Devil’s Claw herb cultivated in the Kalahari without the use of artificial fertilisers, insecticides or fungicides. It can be used for joint pain and to reduce symptoms of back pain or other rheumatism pains in the shoulders and elbows, or for knee and other joint pains. Always read the leaflet
Atrosan® Devil’s Claw tablets may be used as a rheumatism product for the relief of joint & muscular pain in adults (over 18 years of age) and the elderly.
- Use one tablet twice daily immediately after food. The dose can be increased to two tablets twice daily if relief is not obtained after 3 to 5 days.
Atrosan® Devil’s Claw tablets contain the extract of Harpagophytum procumbens root, also known as Devil’s Claw.

“I have had what I assume to be lumbago and sciatica for nearly 3 months. I do not believed the Devils claw tablets made any difference, but worth a try. Maybe my problem was something else but I had no obvious benefit”
Barrie Cannon
Response from A.Vogel: Sorry to read that Atrosan has not helped you. We would advise that you seek a diagnosis, and that way you would be able to get the correct product that would hopefully help you; if you do have sciatica then Atrosan would, sadly, not be of much benefit to you. Please let us know how you get on.
