How is your knee health?

Osteoarthritis hurts.

Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is usually caused by excess wear and tear on the knee joint as a result of aging or a joint injury. Your knee’s joint fluid (hyaluronic acid) starts to break down, resulting in pain and discomfort.

Without healthy joint fluid, your cartilage wears away and your bones may start to rub against each other. This causes increased pain and swelling, and can keep you from doing what you enjoy most.

ORTHOVISC® can help.

If knee pain due to osteoarthritis is holding you back, talk to your doctor about ORTHOVISC® High Molecular Weight Hyaluronan. This non-surgical option is FDA-approved non-drug therapy, and can provide up to 6 months of knee pain relief.

ORTHOVISC® replaces the natural joint fluid that cushions, protects, and lubricates your knee joint. With better cushioning, your knee can move and function better.

Important Safety Information

ORTHOVISC® is indicated in the treatment of pain in osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee in patients who have failed to respond adequately to conservative nonpharmacologic therapy and to simple analgesics, e.g. acetaminophen. In clinical studies, the most commonly reported adverse events were arthralgia, back pain, and headache. Other side effects included local injection site adverse events.

ORTHOVISC® is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to hyaluronate formulations or known hypersensitivity (allergy) to gram positive bacterial proteins. ORTHOVISC® should not be injected in patients with infections or skin diseases in the area of the injection site or joint. Strict aseptic technique should be used. The effectiveness of more than 1 course has not been established.
