Synvisc® is a Health Canada approved, pill-free* treatment that can provide up to 12 months of osteoarthritis pain relief. In fact, no viscosupplement delivers a greater magnitude of pain relief for longer than Synvisc®.
Injected directly into a 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.
That means Synvisc® may be able to offer you:
 |
 |
 |
 |
Up to 1 year of knee pain relief with just one course of treatment. No other viscosupplement delivers up to 12 months of pain relief with fewer injections. |
 |
 |
None of the gastrointestinal and cardiovascular issues associated with some oral medications. Synvisc® is proven to be safe and effective in initial and repeat courses of therapy. |
 |
 |
IA greater improvement in joint function. |
 |
 |
Double the pain relief when added to standard treatment, such as diet, exercise, acetaminophen and NSAIDs. |
 |
 |
Osteoarthritis knee pain relief without surgery. |
 |
* Treatment with Synvisc® may not eliminate the need for other osteoarthritis medications.
