HYALGAN® is a safe choice

HYALGAN® is not a drug! Its active ingredient is a natural product that is injected directly into the knee.

HYALGAN® injections work differently from pain pills because it does not pass through your bloodstream to work. Because you don't swallow it, it does not cause stomach bleeding problems like some pain medications.

  • HYALGAN® does not interfere with any other medicines you may be taking for osteoarthritis or other conditions.
  • Hyalgan has been shown to be safe for repeat treatment in a 30 month study.

HYALGAN® has been safely used for 10 years in the U.S. and more than 18 million injections have been given worldwide.
