OSTEOARTHRITIS PAIN AND VISCOSUPPLEMENTATION How can Cingal® help?
When you have osteoarthritis, there may not be enough natural hyaluronic acid in the joint, and the quality of that hyaluronic acid may be poorer than normal. Cingal® is given in a single shot (injection) directly into the knee joint. The injection of Cingal® adds hyaluronic acid into the knee joint. The corticosteroid contained in Cingal® quickly reduces inflammation to provide fast pain relief, while the hyaluronic acid cushions the knee joint to provide long-lasting relief.
