General Information On Hyalgan

Hyaluronate is a chemical produced naturally in the body and is useful for its cushioning and lubricating properties of the knee joint. Hyalgan is a source of sodium hyaluronate. It is injected directly into the knee joint and is used to relieve knee pain due to osteoarthritis. It is recommended in cases where physical therapy, exercise or pain killers have failed to relieve pain.

Inform your doctor if you have had any infection in the knee joint or infection of the skin around the knee. It can be harmful to an unborn baby, so let your doctor know if you are pregnant.
