Date of Approval
Hyaluronic acid is a high molecular weight polysaccharide approved for its medical use in 1997.
Mechanism of Action of Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is a biological agent that is naturally present in the synovial fluid and cartilage of the joints. Hyaluronic Acid decreases in concentration when a person has joint disorders like osteoarthritis, which leads to the low viscosity of the synovial fluid. Hyaluronic Acid Injection restores the viscosity of the joint fluid (synovial fluid), reduces friction, and alleviates pain.
Uses of Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid Injection has been developed to treat symptoms of pain in patients diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the knees who have not responded to conventional treatment methods like painkillers, exercise, and physical therapy. This injection improves mobility and enhances joint function.
Hyaluronic Acid Dosage available
A healthcare professional will administer Hyaluronic acid as an intraarticular injection to the patients. The dose will depend on the patient’s severity of the condition. Hyaluronic Acid is available as a prefilled syringe in the doses 20mg and 60mg. Your healthcare provider will inject this medicine directly into the affected joint.
