Knee movement sprain taking Glucosamine Sulfate capsules question

Patient's question:

MRI showed only a small amount of fluid accumulation, everything else was normal. The doctor said it's nothing and prescribed me to take glucosamine sulfate capsules for 2 months. I want to ask if there are any side effects from taking this medication for such a long time? Also, the instructions say it's best to take the medication with meals. Why is that? Is it because the medication is harmful to the stomach? I'm just taking the medicine after opening the capsules, and I'm going to swallow so many capsule shells in 2 months...

Doctor's answer:

Local sprain, leading to damage to soft tissues or tendons, stimulating nerves, resulting in pain.
It can be taken for a long time without any side effects, can repair cartilage tissue, and can be used in conjunction with Panax notoginseng powder for regulation.
