Introduction of HYLASTO S INJECTION
Hylasto S injection contains an active ingredient called Sodium Hyaluronate, which belongs to the group of medicines called intra-articular agents. It is like the natural fluid that cushions your joints, which helps lubricate and protect your joints, acting as a shock absorber. This medicine relieves knee pain in patients with osteoarthritis (OA). It is usually given to patients who have not responded well to the other arthritis medications.
Do not use Hylasto S injection if you are allergic to Sodium Hyaluronate or any of its ingredients. Do not use this medication if you have an infection in your knee or in the skin around your knee. Before taking the medicine, notify your doctor if you have had a history of blood clots or circulation issues in your legs or if you have an allergy to birds, feathers, or egg products.
