What is Hyalgan?

Hyalgan is a high-purity sodium hyaluronate solution intended for intra-articular injection. It supplements the natural hyaluronic acid found in synovial fluid, helping restore its viscoelastic properties and supporting smoother joint movement. It is commonly used in the management of osteoarthritis and other degenerative joint conditions.

How It Works

Following injection into the affected joint, Hyalgan helps:

• restore synovial fluid viscosity;
• improve joint lubrication;
• reduce friction between cartilage surfaces;
• absorb mechanical stress;
• support joint mobility;
• relieve pain associated with joint degeneration;
• improve overall joint function.

Indications

Healthcare professionals administer Hyalgan for symptomatic treatment of osteoarthritis, most commonly of the knee. A typical course is 3-5 weekly injections per joint cycle, set by the physician.

Administration

Intra-articular injection performed by a qualified healthcare professional under aseptic conditions. Injection course, joint selection and any concomitant therapy are determined by the physician.

Safety

Local transient reactions (mild pain, warmth or swelling at the injection site) may occur and usually resolve within a few days. Contraindicated in case of hypersensitivity to sodium hyaluronate or with active joint infection/inflammation at the injection site.
