Hi,
You are looking for Glucosamine Sulfate
There is a powder form glcosamine sulfate FOS (in which the FOS stands for the sweetner fructose oleo-saccharides) which my oncology nurse told me to find and take at three times the dosage listed on the package at least twice a day.
I couldn't find that but heard from others that any liquid formulation of the glucosamine sulfate works much the same way, again you take twice the listed dosage and at least twice a day.

Dear Cathy:
I didn't know about the glutamine when going through Taxol. If pain persists, try holding heating pad to area or soak in as hot water as you can safely do! It would take 3 extra strength Tylenols to ease pain at night enough to sleep. I could make it okay during day with distractions.
Good luck and God bless you. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Hugs from Brenda0
