Synvisc One Manufacturer:
Genzyme Biosurgery USASynvisc One Information:
Synvisc One is used to treat osteoarthritis (also referred to as degenerative arthritis) of the knee. Doctors usually prescribe this drug when other osteoarthritis medicines fail to relieve knee pain. Synvisc One requires a prescription. You can buy Synvisc One only if a doctor has prescribed the drug for your treatment.
Description of Synvisc One:
This drug contains a fluid that is similar in structure to the natural-occurring fluid that surrounds our joints. The chemical name of this drug is Hylan G-F 20. It is administered through an injection. Synvisc One should be administered only by a well-qualified and trained healthcare professional.
Advantages of Synvisc One:
The most distinct advantage of Synvisc One is that unlike Synvisc, this treatment requires you to take only one injection. Patients who opt for Synvisc treatment have to take 3 injections that are administered over a period of 3 weeks with a gap of 7 days between two injections.
Another advantage of this drug is that it provides relief for as long as 6 months. In most cases, patients start noticing a considerable improvement within 30 days of receiving the injection. Synvisc One is an effective osteoarthritis treatment drug and provides relief when other medicines fail to alleviate the symptoms.
How Synvisc One Works:
Our joints are surrounded by a natural occurring liquid called synovial fluid that lubricates our joints and also forms a shock absorber. In osteoarthritis patients, the density of this liquid is below normal. As a result, it is unable to its job of a lubricant and shock absorber properly. Hylan G-F20 is the main ingredient in Synvisc One. It is akin to synovial fluid, and works in the same manner as the natural-occurring fluid. Hylan G-F20 lubricates knee joints and also acts as a shock absorber, improving the functioning of knee joints and relieving knee pain.
