Available for quick dispatch from International Warehouse 2. SUBSTANCE
Formulated with Sodium Hyaluronate, a natural joint lubricant.

This advanced medication is primarily prescribed for individuals suffering from knee pain due to osteoarthritis-related joint inflammation. If you haven?t found relief through other treatments such as acetaminophen, exercise, or physical therapy, hyaluronate may be the solution you?ve been seeking. This substance, which mimics a naturally occurring component in your joints, acts as a lubricant and shock absorber, promoting smoother knee movement and significantly reducing discomfort.

Before starting your hyaluronate treatment, and with each refill, be sure to consult the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your healthcare provider. Should you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to your doctor or pharmacist.

This medication will be administered by your healthcare professional via injection directly into the affected joint, usually once a week. Please avoid using skin disinfectants containing ammonium salts (like benzalkonium chloride) at the injection site. Your doctor may need to drain any excess fluid from the joint prior to the injection. Dosage will be tailored to your specific medical condition and individual response to the treatment.

Important: Hyaluronate is not to be injected into a vein or artery due to potential side effects. Following the injection, it is advisable to avoid activities that may strain your knee?such as jogging, playing tennis, heavy lifting, or standing for extended periods? for at least 48 hours.

It?s normal to experience some initial pain and swelling in the knee post-injection. However, if discomfort or swelling persists or worsens, please contact your doctor immediately. Adhering to the scheduled injections is crucial, as it may take up to three doses to achieve optimal results. If your condition does not improve or worsens, inform your healthcare provider.

Some common side effects may include pain, swelling, redness, warmth, bruising at the injection site, or headaches. If these effects persist or worsen, contact your doctor or pharmacist without delay.

Remember, your doctor has prescribed this medication because they believe that the benefits far outweigh any potential risks of side effects. Many patients find that they do not face significant adverse effects while using this treatment.

In the rare event that you experience severe side effects, such as intense back pain, severe headache, rapid or pounding heartbeat, fever, or tingling sensations, please reach out to your doctor immediately. While serious allergic reactions to this medication are uncommon, seek immediate medical attention if you observe any signs of a severe allergic reaction, including rash, itching or swelling (especially of the face, tongue, or throat), severe dizziness, or difficulty breathing.
