HYALGAN® (HI-al-gan) is a natural liquid that is injected into your knee to relieve
pain.
HYALGAN® contains a natural substance called hyaluronate, and is injected into your
knee to relieve pain. Hyaluronate is normally found in the fluid that lubricates
and cushions your knee joint. HYALGAN® is a treatment option for people who do not
get adequate pain relief from simple painkillers (like Tylenol®) or from exercise
and physical therapy.
HYALGAN® injections can be used before or in addition to prescription pain relievers
(such as Mobic® or Celebrex®).
HYALGAN® is injected directly into your knee by your healthcare professional.
- 5 injections given at weekly intervals can provide long-lasting pain relief for
up to 6 months
- Some patients get benefits with 3 injections given at weekly intervals.*
*Some patients may experience benefit with 3 HYALGAN® injections given at weekly intervals.
This has been noted in studies of patients receiving 3 injections who were followed for 60 days.
Individual results may vary but HYALGAN® has shown to relieve knee pain for up to 6 months.
HYALGAN® is covered by Medicare and most managed care plans. Ask your healthcare
professional if prescription HYALGAN® is right for you.
