Sodium hyaluronate 1.0%. Sterile viscoelastic solution for injection into the joint cavity.
Directions
Pain and decreased mobility in degenerative and traumatic knee joint and other synovial joints.
Mode of administration and dosage
Inject Ostenil ® into the affected joint once a week for a total of 3 injections. Several joints can be treated simultaneously. Depending on the severity of joint disease, the beneficial effects of a treatment cycle of 3 intra-articular injections will extend for at least 6 months. It is possible to repeat treatment cycles if necessary. In case of joint effusion, it is advisable to reduce the effusion by aspiration, rest, applying an ice pack and / or intra-articular injection
a corticosteroid. Treatment with Ostenil ® can then take two to three days.
The content and the outer surface of the pre-filled syringe of sterile Ostenil ® remain sterile until the bag remains intact. Remove the syringe pre-filled sterile bag, remove the closure cap of the syringe, attach an appropriate needle (eg 19 or 21 G) and ensure its proper setting, turning slightly.
The new pre-filled syringe Ostenil ® contains no air bubble.
Properties and mode of action
Synovial fluid, which depends on the viscoelasticity of the presence of hyaluronic acid, is found in all joints, particularly in an important weight bearing joints. It allows normal movement without pain thanks to its lubricating and shock absorption, it also provides the nutritional intake of cartilage.
In the case of degenerative joint diseases such as osteoarthritis, the viscoelasticity of synovial fluid decreased significantly reduces lubricating functions and shock absorption.
This loss of viscosity increases the mechanical load of the joint and cartilage destruction.
These phenomena have resulted in a reduced mobility of the affected joint and the onset of pain. Supplementation of the synovial fluid by intra-articular injections of hyaluronic acid, highly purified can improve the viscoelastic properties of synovial fluid. There is a better lubricant and shock absorption and a decrease in the mechanical overload of the joint. In general, the result is a decrease in pain and improved joint mobility, which lasts for several months after a treatment cycle of 3 intra-articular injections.
Precautions
Particular attention should be given to patients with known hypersensitivity to this kind of treatment. General precautions related to intra-articular injections should be respected. Ostenil ® injections should be given specifically in the joint cavity. Avoid injection into blood vessels and into surrounding tissue. In the absence of clinical data on the use of hyaluronic acid in children, pregnant or nursing, or inflammatory joint diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis, the administration of Ostenil ® is not recommended in these patients. Do not use if pre-filled syringe or sterile packaging is damaged.
Keep at temperature not exceeding 25 ° C. Do not use after the expiry date stated on the box. Keep out of reach of children.
Cons-indications
Ostenil ® should not be used in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any component.
Possible Side Effects
Local events such as pain, heat, redness and swelling may occur at the joint treated by Ostenil ®. Applying an ice pack for 5 to 10 minutes in the treated area will reduce the incidence of these effects.
Drug Interactions
To date, no data on the inconsistency of Ostenil ® with other solutions for intra-articular use. The simultaneous intake of analgesics or anti-inflammatory medication by mouth during the first days of treatment may be helpful to the patient.
