Remember that although osteoarthritis of the knee can be a painful condition, sticking with the therapeutic program recommended by your healthcare professional is essential for obtaining pain relief–and reducing your osteoarthritis knee pain may help you perform your everyday activities more easily.

Track Your Progress

Many physicians as well as people with osteoarthritis recommend keeping a journal or diary to note which activities cause you pain, and which activities or treatments are most effective in relieving it. You can also record your medical appointments and jot down questions you want to ask your healthcare professional at your next visit.

The Action Tracker^SM daily diary makes it easy and convenient for you to keep track of your progress.

See Your Healthcare Professional

Be sure to discuss how your knee pain treatment is progressing with your healthcare professional. Regular visits are an important part of managing your osteoarthritis knee pain. Osteoarthritis cannot be cured. If pain returns, you may want to discuss another course of HYALGAN® treatment with your healthcare professional. HYALGAN® treatment can be repeated safely.

Important Safety Information for HYALGAN®

HYALGAN® is used to relieve knee pain due to osteoarthritis. It is used for patients who do not get adequate relief from simple painkillers or from exercise or physical therapy.
You should not take this product if you have had any previous allergic reaction to HYALGAN® or other medications containing hyaluronan. You should not have an injection into the knee if you have an infection or skin disease in the area of the injection site.
HYALGAN® has been used in a number of countries in Europe, South America, and Asia since 1987. During this time, two cases of serious, allergic-type events were reported right after patients received the injection.
The most common side effects of HYALGAN® therapy are injection-site pain, swelling, heat and/or redness, rash, itching, or bruising around the joint. Any such side effects are generally mild and usually do not last long.
