Viscosafe injection is a treatment used to provide long-lasting relief from knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. It can help you move more comfortably by reducing stiffness and making daily activities easier. This medicine works best when included as part of an overall treatment plan, which may involve gentle exercise, weight management, and joint care advised by your doctor.
It works by mimicking the natural fluid in your knee joint, which helps bones move smoothly and cushions them during movement. When injected into the knee, it improves lubrication and shock absorption, reduces friction, and helps relieve pain, making it easier for you to walk, climb stairs, and perform other activities. Some individuals may experience mild side effects such as headache, rash, bruising at the injection site, or itching.
These effects are usually temporary, but if they become bothersome or severe, you should inform your doctor. You should not use this medicine if you are allergic to its ingredients or bird proteins, have an infection in the knee, or have skin issues in the area where the injection would be given. It is important not to administer this injection alongside other joint injections.
Additionally, avoid using disinfectants containing quaternary ammonium salts before the injection, as they may cause the medicine to clump and lose effectiveness. Store the medicine below 25°C, away from sunlight, and never freeze it. Keep it out of reach of children and pets, and dispose of any unused medicine properly.
Before treatment, your doctor may remove any swelling in the knee and check for signs of inflammation, such as redness, heat, or severe pain. After the injection, avoid putting excessive strain on the knee for a short period to allow it to heal. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, this medicine should only be used if your doctor believes the benefits outweigh any potential risks.
It is not expected to affect your ability to drive or your interaction with alcohol, but always follow your doctor’s advice.
Viscosafe injection will be given in the hospital or clinic by the doctor or nurse as an injection. Do not self-inject the medicine. Follow the aftercare instructions provided by the doctor or nurse.
Viscosafe injection should only be used during pregnancy if your doctor decides the benefits outweigh any possible risks to the baby.
Viscosafe injection is not expected to pass into breast milk, but because many medicines can, it should be used with caution while breastfeeding and only if your doctor thinks the benefits outweigh any possible risks to the baby.
Viscosafe injection is not expected to have any effect on the patient’s ability to drive or operate machinery
No known interactions are available.
Talk to your doctor if
Viscosafe injection will be given to you by a doctor or nurse. Therefore, it is less likely that you may get an overdose of the medicine. If you experience symptoms right after taking the injection, seek medical help.
You will be monitored by the doctor or nurse as to when Viscosafe injection should be given to you. Thus, it is unlikely that a dose of the injection will be missed. If the doctor or nurse might have missed a dose, inform them.
Sodium hyaluronate functions by mimicking the natural fluid in your joints that allows them to move smoothly and provides shock absorption. When injected into the knee, it enhances lubrication and cushioning, reduces friction between the bones, and helps to alleviate pain, making joint movement easier.
Avoid heavy exercise or putting too much strain on the injected joint for 48 hours. Light activities like walking are usually fine after a short rest period.
No. Steroids reduce inflammation quickly but may have long-term side effects. Sodium hyaluronate works differently; it improves lubrication and cushioning in the joint and does not have steroid effects.
