HYALGAN® is a sterile, highly purified sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid) injection used for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis pain in patients who have not achieved adequate relief from simple analgesics or conservative therapies. As a viscosupplement, HYALGAN® helps restore the natural lubrication and shock-absorbing properties of synovial fluid, improving joint mobility and reducing discomfort.

Key Benefits
• Relieves knee osteoarthritis pain and improves mobility
• Restores joint lubrication for smoother movement
• Increases shock absorption within the knee joint
• Non-surgical treatment option for patients not responding to oral pain medication
• Well-established safety profile with decades of clinical use

How It Works
HYALGAN® contains hyaluronic acid similar to the natural fluid found in healthy joints. When injected into the intra-articular space, it supplements the diminished synovial fluid in osteoarthritic knees. This enhances joint lubrication and cushioning, reducing friction and helping relieve pain during movement.

Ideal Candidates
Patients with knee osteoarthritis experiencing persistent pain or limited mobility despite the use of oral analgesics, physical therapy, or lifestyle modifications.
Suitable for individuals seeking a non-surgical, locally administered treatment option.

Administration
HYALGAN® is typically administered as a series of intra-articular injections by a trained medical professional. Standard treatment often involves multiple injections spaced over several weeks. Pain relief may begin after the first few injections and can last several months depending on individual factors.

Possible Side Effects
Temporary reactions may include localized pain, swelling, warmth, or stiffness at the injection site. Mild joint effusion or tenderness may occur. More serious reactions are rare when administered properly by a qualified practitioner.
