HYALURONIC ACID is indicated in the treatment of pain in osteoarthritis of the knee in patients who have failed to respond adequately to non-pharmacologic therapy, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or simple analgesics (pain killers).
HYALURONIC ACID contains 'Hyaluronic acid' that works by reducing friction between the joints. Thereby providing relief from pain.
In some cases, HYALURONIC ACID may cause common side effects such as diarrhoea, headache, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
HYALURONIC ACID is not recommended for people below 21 years. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. The safety and efficacy of HYALURONIC ACID have not been established for use in joints other than the knee. Inform your doctor if you have a joint infection or skin disease in the affected area.

Osteoarthritis: It is a degenerative joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms of osteoarthritis include pain, stiffness, inflammation and tenderness. The main reason for osteoarthritis is age, the older you are, the more likely you could get osteoarthritis, thus known as degenerative disease, meaning that the joints wear out as a person ages. Other reasons include a past injury such as torn cartilage, dislocated joints and ligament injuries.
