Hyalgan 20 mg/2 ml is a solution for intra-articular injection presented in a pre-filled syringe. It belongs to the pharmacotherapeutic class of other drugs for musculoskeletal disorders. This medication is used to treat painful osteoarthritis of the knee accompanied by joint effusion.
Hyalgan provides relief by supplementing the natural synovial fluid in the joint, improving lubrication and cushioning. Its therapeutic effect is not immediate, with maximum pain reduction typically occurring two to three months after the first injection.
