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.
