Orthovisc is a high molecular weight hyaluronic acid viscosupplement that is used to treat knee pain due to osteoarthritis. It is a sterile and non-pyrogenic solution of hyaluronan in a single-use syringe. Orthovisc provides more hyaluronic acid to the joint than most other available treatments. It is injected directly into the knee joint and works as a lubricant and shock absorber, reducing pain and inflammation.
Orthovisc is generally used in patients who have not responded to other arthritis medications. It is the only FDA-approved treatment made from ultra-pure hyaluronan, a naturally occurring lubricant found in joints.
The medication Orthovisc (Sodium Hyaluronan) is administered by injection into the affected joint, usually once a week by a healthcare professional. Skin disinfectants that contain ammonium salts, such as benzalkonium chloride, should not be used to prepare the injection site. Before injecting the medicine, the doctor may need to remove extra fluid from the joint.
Dosage of Orthovisc is based on individual medical condition and response to treatment. Increased side effects may occur if hyaluronate is injected into a vein or artery, so this should be avoided. After receiving an Orthovisc injection, patients should avoid activities that put stress on the knee joint, such as jogging, tennis, heavy lifting, or standing on the feet for more than an hour, for 48 hours.
To use the Orthovisc syringe, follow these steps:
Orthovisc (Sodium Hyaluronan) is available in the following forms and strength:
Orthovisc is different from other hyaluronic acid viscosupplements because it is made from ultra-pure hyaluronan and provides more hyaluronic acid to the joint.
Orthovisc treatment usually involves three to four weekly injections, and the effects can last for up to six months.
Orthovisc treatment is generally intended for patients who have not responded to other arthritis medications and have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis of the knee.
Patients should avoid any strenuous activity or exercise that puts a lot of pressure on the knee joint for at least 48 hours after an Orthovisc injection.
Orthovisc is currently only approved for use in the knee joint.
