CINGAL®
Description
CINGAL® is an advanced, single-injection viscosupplement combining high–molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HA) with a fast-acting corticosteroid to provide both immediate and long-lasting relief from knee osteoarthritis pain. This dual-action formulation reduces inflammation quickly while restoring joint lubrication and cushioning for sustained comfort and improved mobility.
Key Benefits
• Dual-action relief: immediate anti-inflammatory effect + long-term joint lubrication
• Single-injection treatment for maximum convenience
• High-viscosity HA restores natural joint cushioning and smooth movement
• Helps reduce pain, stiffness, and mobility limitations
• Ideal for patients not responding adequately to oral medications or conservative therapies
How It Works
CINGAL® combines hyaluronic acid—responsible for lubricating and cushioning the knee joint—with a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation. The steroid component delivers rapid pain relief within days, while the HA provides ongoing support by improving synovial fluid quality. Together, they help reduce friction, absorb shock, and support smoother joint function.
Ideal Candidates
Adults with knee osteoarthritis experiencing persistent pain, swelling, or limited mobility despite oral medication, physical therapy, or lifestyle changes.
Ideal for individuals seeking faster relief than traditional viscosupplements without requiring multiple injections.
Administration
Administered as a single intra-articular injection by a licensed medical professional.
Patients may feel relief quickly due to the anti-inflammatory component, with long-lasting benefits from the HA portion extending several months or longer, depending on individual factors.
Possible Side Effects
Temporary side effects may include mild swelling, warmth, stiffness, or discomfort at the injection site. Local joint irritation or effusion may occur but typically resolves with standard care. Serious reactions are rare when administered correctly.
