Hyalgan
Hyalgan is an injectable medication that is used to relieve the pain associated
with osteoarthritis of the knees. Hyalgan is a natural solution of the chemical
hyaluronate, which is found throughout the body in various tissues. It is found
in especially high concentrations in the joints. Therefore, patients who have not
received much relief from traditional therapies (including painkillers, exercise,
and physical therapy) may derive significant relief from Hyalgan injections.
Hyalgan is a purified mixture that is administered in your doctor's office directly
into the affected knee. To ease some of the discomfort associated with the injection,
your doctor may first inject your knee with a local anesthetic before administering
the Hyalgan injection. Treatment with Hyalgan involves five injections given weekly,
and it should be noted that some patients do not notice pain relief until after
the third or fourth injection, while others may feel it within the first week of
treatment.
The most common side effects of Hyalgan are local pain and swelling at the injection
site, heat and redness, rash, itching, and bruising of the joint. These side effects
tend to be mild and they do not last long. This medication has been used clinically
for the last 15 years and millions of osteoarthritis sufferers have found pain relief
with Hyalgan. If you suffer from osteoarthritis of the knee and you have not found
relief in other therapies, you may want to talk to your doctor about the benefits
of Hyalgan.
