SYNVISC-One is indicated for the treatment of pain in osteoarthritis(OA) of the knee in patients who have failed to respond adequately to conservative nonpharmacologic therapy and simple analgesics, e.g., acetaminophen.

Synvisc-One combines the three doses of SYNVISC (hylan G-F 20) which consists of hylan A (average molecular weight 6,000,000 daltons) and hylan B hydrated gel in a buffered physiological sodium chloride solution, pH 7.2.

Who should not use Synvisc-one?

Anyone with allergies to hyaluronan and anyone with a knee or skin infection at the proposed site of injection.

More importantly, anyone with allergies to birds and bird products, such as feathers, eggs and bird meat.

Breastfeeding and pregnant women should not use Synvisc-One.

What is the administration process for Synvisc?

SYNVISC is injected directly into the knee over the course of three doctor visits, one week apart. It’s a simple, in-office procedure that takes just a few minutes.

Both knees can be treated in the same session.

Following treatment, care should be taken not to carry out any heavy lifting. Your strength will start to build up again after 2 days.

What are the associated side effects with Synvisc? With SYNVISC being administered into the knee joint, and not into the blood, there is much less likely to be any side effects. However, swelling, pain and excess fluid were reported in 7% patients. Rash and Hives have also been reported in some cases.

When will I see results with Synvisc? Results can be felt immediately. However, at least 3 injections are required to feel the full optimum effects of the treatment.
