What is Orthovisc?

Orthovisc (sodium hyaluronate) is a medication used to treat knee pain caused by osteoarthritis and is typically prescribed after other arthritis medications have been used tried without success. Orthovisc comes in a syringe form and is similar to the fluid which surrounds your joints and this replacement fluid acts as a shock absorber and lubricant for the joints which helps your joints to move smoothly, lessening your pain.

Always read the patient information and instructions carefully before using this medication. Follow your doctor’s directions.

• Orthovisc comes in a syringe form and should be injected directly into the affected joint by a healthcare provider.
• If you require more than one injection, additional injections are typically given at least one week after your initial injection.
• Your doctor may need to remove additional fluid from your joint before injecting the medication.
• Your Orthovisc dosage is based on your medical condition and your response to treatment.
• You should avoid any activity which puts stress on your knee for 48 hours. This includes jogging, tennis, heavy lifting or standing on your feet for over an hour.
