* Since is a placebo, it is essentially the same as taking nothing. So is as good as nothing. Or, put another way, nothing is as good as , which is how you got down here in the first place.... The 'nothing is better than (insert expensive branded paracetamol /acetaminophen drug here)' claim, so beloved of drug companies the world over, works the same way. Since the expensive drug is exactly the same as the cheap one, then of course it's no better or worse. It's just more expensive!
** People taking placebo in trials who think they are taking a real drug do complain of simple side effects such as nausea and diarrhoea, but that's all just in their minds. There is nothing in , so it can't cause 'real' side effects.
(1) New England Journal of Medicine 2006;354;795-808. Glucosamine helped 64% of patients, chondroitin sulphate 65.4% of patients, and celecoxib 70% of patients. But they're all real drugs with real price tags, real side effects, and real interactions (especially 'NSAIDs' like Celecoxib which can cause stomach ulcers and kidney damage and can double your risk of having a heart attack).
