Orthovisc

Product Description

Product Overview: Orthovisc 30mg/2ml Injection

Orthovisc is a premier viscosupplement prescribed for the treatment of pain in osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. It is specifically formulated for patients who have failed to respond adequately to conservative non-pharmacologic therapy and simple analgesics (such as acetaminophen).

Unlike many other hyaluronic acid injections derived from rooster combs, Orthovisc 30mg/2ml Injection is derived from bacterial fermentation. This ultra-pure, non-animal origin makes it an exceptionally safe choice for patients who may suffer from avian (bird/egg) allergies, reducing the risk of systemic allergic reactions.

How Orthovisc Works

Osteoarthritis causes the natural hyaluronic acid in the knee to break down, reducing the joint’s ability to lubricate and absorb shock. This leads to bone-on-bone friction and pain. Orthovisc restores this balance. It is a high-molecular-weight hyaluronan that mimics the properties of healthy synovial fluid. Upon injection, it provides immediate lubrication and cushioning to the knee joint, improving mobility and significantly reducing pain levels.

Treatment Protocol

Orthovisc is administered via intra-articular injection directly into the knee joint space. The standard treatment regimen typically involves a series of three to four injections, administered one week apart. This cumulative therapy is designed to provide long-lasting pain relief that can persist for up to 6 months following the treatment cycle.
