Viskus 1% w/v PFS Injection 6 ml

Viskus 1% w/v PFS Injection 6 ml is used to help relieve pain and improve joint movement in people with osteoarthritis. It is commonly prescribed for the following:

• Osteoarthritis joint pain: Helps relieve persistent pain and discomfort in joints affected by osteoarthritis, most commonly the knee, when standard oral pain medicines do not provide enough relief. In selected cases, your doctor may also use Viskus 1% w/v PFS Injection 6 ml in other joints, such as the hip, shoulder, or ankle, depending on your condition and clinical judgement.
• Joint stiffness: Restores smoother movement to stiff joints, making it easier to bend and flex the joint during daily activities.
   

Viskus 1% w/v PFS Injection 6 ml helps relieve joint pain caused by osteoarthritis by restoring the natural cushioning and lubrication within the joint. It improves joint movement and supports better physical function.

• Relieves Joint Pain: Helps reduce pain and discomfort caused by osteoarthritis by improving joint lubrication.
• Improves Joint Mobility: Enhances flexibility and ease of movement, making daily activities more comfortable.
• Restores Joint Lubrication: Acts as a supplement to the natural joint fluid, reducing friction between bones during movement.
• Supports Physical Activity: Improved joint function may help you participate more comfortably in exercise, physiotherapy, and routine activities.
• Provides Localised Relief: As it is injected directly into the affected joint, it offers targeted treatment with minimal systemic side effects.
   

• Follow your doctor's instructions on the dosage and timing of this medication to ensure safety.
• Viskus 1% w/v PFS Injection 6 ml will be administered by the doctor or healthcare professional.
• Do not self-administer.

• Maintain a Healthy Weight: Achieving and maintaining a healthy body weight helps reduce stress on weight-bearing joints such as the knees.
• Choose Low-Impact Exercise: Activities such as swimming, cycling, and water aerobics can help improve joint flexibility without placing excessive strain on the joints.
• Use Cold Compresses if Needed: Applying a cold pack to the treated joint after activity may help relieve mild temporary swelling or discomfort.
• Eat a Joint-Healthy Diet: Include foods rich in calcium, vitamin D, and anti-inflammatory nutrients, such as leafy green vegetables, to support bone and joint health.
   

• Ensure Proper Packaging: Before the injection, ensure the syringe packaging is intact and the sterile seal has not been broken.
• Rest the Treated Joint: Avoid strenuous activities such as running, heavy lifting, or prolonged standing for at least 48 hours after the injection.
• Avoid Injection into Infected Skin: Do not receive the injection if the skin over the joint is red, swollen, infected, or irritated.
• Maintain Sterile Technique: Ensure the injection site is cleaned thoroughly with an appropriate antiseptic before administration.
• Inform Your Doctor About Allergies: Tell your doctor if you have allergies to bird products, such as feathers, eggs, or poultry, as some formulations may contain related proteins.
