If you have concerns about NSAIDs and COX-2 medications, consider Synvisc^® for up to 12 months of osteoarthritis pain relief. Ongoing investigations have linked some NSAIDs and COX-2 oral pain relievers to a greater risk of heart attack and stroke, as well as serious stomach problems, like ulcers. That's why, more than ever, it's important that you can trust your osteoarthritis joint pain treatment.

Health Canada-approved, pill free* Synvisc^® can provide up to 12 months of osteoarthritis pain relief. Injected directly into the affected joint such as the knee, hip, shoulder or ankle, Synvisc^® replaces damaged joint fluid with a natural elastoviscous substance that has cushioning and lubricating abilities similar to those of normal, healthy joint fluid.

* Treatment with Synvisc^® may not eliminate the need for other osteoarthritis medications.
