BiogenOstenil Information:
Ostenil is used to treat osteoarthritis of the knees, as well as any kind of joint inflammation in the hip, knee, and shoulder. It contains Hyaluronic Acid (HA) and is used in the form of an injection. Three injections are administered intra-articularly in a week. This medication restores the articular balance, and gives the synovial fluid enough viscosity and elasticity. The benefits of this medication develop slowly during the course of injections and continue for several months. After a course of three injections, joint stiffness and pain is reduced. The results can be expected to last for 6-12 months.
Description of Ostenil:
Ostenil contains a highly purified form of Hyaluronic Acid, which is produced by bacterial fermentation. Following the medical therapy of viscosupplementation, Ostenil is injected directly into the articular space that contains the synovial fluid.
Advantages of Ostenil:
Given below are some of the prominent advantages of using this Hyaluronic Acid injection-
- Ostenil has negligible allergenic potential as it contains Hyaluronic Acid which is produced by bacterial fermentation.
- It offers long-lasting benefits (if the complete course as advised by the doctor is adhered to) by giving the synovial fluid sufficient viscosity and elasticity.
- When used in combination with other medications for treating the symptoms of osteoarthritis, it doesn’t cause side effects in the cardiovascular or gastrointestinal systems.
- It heals the joints directly and causes rapid improvement in joint mobility.
- It restores the shock-absorbing and lubricating properties of the joint fluid, which is worn out due to osteoarthritis.
- It is simple and quick to administer.
- Treatment with Ostenil does not involve immobilization or operation.
How Ostenil Works:
Ostenil is injected directly into the space in the joint, which contains synovial fluid. It provides viscosity and elasticity to the synovial fluid and rapidly restores the articular balance or homeostasis. As a result, pain due to osteoarthritis is decreased, and the joints get an increased level of mobility.
Safety & Precautionary Information:
Since Ostenil contains no animal proteins; allergic reactions are unlikely to occur. However, some common side effects may be experienced by patients, which include pain, nausea, heating sensation, as well as swelling and redness around the injected joint. Most of these side effects do not last for a very long time and disappear on their own. However, in case any of these side effects persist, the patient must consult his/her doctor as soon as possible.
Caution should be exercised while administering Ostenil to patients with known hypersensitivity to drugs. The injection should be administered accurately into the joint cavity, and the doctor should observe general precautions for intra-articular injections. Care should be taken not to inject the drug into surrounding tissues or blood vessels.
As there is no clinical evidence on the use of Hyaluronic Acid in lactating and pregnant women, children, or in inflammatory joint diseases like Bekhterev’s disease or rheumatoid arthritis, Ostenil is not recommended for the treatment of these cases.
When a patient is advised to buy Ostenil, he/she should get a clear idea of its dosage. Since the benefits depend on the right dosage, tampering with it is not advisable. If the patient, who is taking Ostenil once a day, forgets a dose, he/she must forego the missed dose and resume the normal schedule from the following day.
