Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Inexium has no effect on chondromalacia, It can only be a coincident that you noticed a change associated with the start of this medication but cannot be a possible explanation. This has never been mentioned before and the way this drug works makes it almost impossible to think of such a side effect.

I will like that you get this knee examined for any possibility condition and treated accordingly. I hope this heps and I wish you well. Thanks.
