Description
This injection is a single-injection hyaluronic acid therapy that resembles the fluid that surrounds your body’s joints. This Injection is typically prescribed to provide long-lasting pain relief from knee osteoarthritis. This fluid lubricates the joints and functions as a shock absorber. When other arthritis treatments have failed, this drug is frequently prescribed.
Durolane Dosage
This injection is given in a single syringe containing 3 milliliters (ml) of gel by a healthcare professional. It is a single dosage, and just one dose per joint should be injected. This injection should only be injected by a trained healthcare practitioner and should not be used at home.
Durolane vs Synvisc
- Durolane and Synvisc Injections are used to relieve osteoarthritis-related joint discomfort. However, studies showed that Durolane provides a greater reduction in knee pain versus Synvisc and its repeated use does not increase adverse events.
Durolane vs Euflexxa
- This injection offers long-term relief when an injection is given at the first sign of osteoarthritis and can delay the need for future hip or knee replacement surgery while Euflexxa is used for patients who do not get enough relief from simple pain medications like acetaminophen or from exercise and physical therapy.
Monovisc vs Durolane
