HYALGAN Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I order Hyalgan From? Can
I buy Hyalgan at Canadian Prices?
Yes, if you are from the U.S. then you can
buy Hyalgan at Canadian prices. Currently we will only accept
an order for Hyalgan from U.S. and Canadian residents. No
prescription is required to purchase Hyalgan and when you
order Hyalgan it will be delivered with regular or express
shipping.
How soon will I experience relief?
Pain relief varies from patient to patient and may depend
on the severity of the pain. Some patients may experience
relief within a week of the first injection. In clinical studies,
the majority of patients noticed a difference within one week
following the third injection; however, pain relief was not
seen in some patients until after the fifth injection.
How long will the HYALGAN results last?
The majority of patients experience months of pain relief. Results vary from patient to patient. In a clinical study in which patients received 5 weekly injections of HYALGAN, HYALGAN was shown to effectively relieve pain at 26 weeks. Since patients were not followed beyond 26 weeks, it is unknown how long pain relief continued. There are published clinical reports of some patients experiencing benefit beyond 26 weeks.
Does the HYALGAN injection hurt?
As with any injection, you may feel temporary minor pain at the injection site. To help make your HYALGAN injection as comfortable as possible, your doctor may inject a local anesthetic beforehand.
What are the common side effects associated with HYALGAN therapy?
Again, as with any injection, you may experience some local pain and/or swelling. The most common side effects of HYALGAN therapy are injection-site pain, swelling, heat and/or redness, rash, itching, or bruising around the joint. Any such effects are generally mild and usually do not last long.
HYALGAN has been in clinical use for 15 years, and more than 13 million injections have been given. Reported cases of serious allergic reactions with HYALGAN have been very rare.
Are there any reasons why I shouldn't take HYALGAN?
You should not take this product if you have had any previous allergic reaction to HYALGAN or other medications containing hyaluronan. You should not have an injection into the knee if you have an infection or skin disease in the area of the injection site.
Can I continue taking my other medications if I receive HYALGAN?
You should talk with your doctor about your specific medications; however, HYALGAN is not known to interact with drugs taken orally.
What if I need another course of therapy?
Osteoarthritis cannot be cured, and if pain returns, you may want to discuss another series of HYALGAN treatment with your doctor. Repeat treatment was shown to be well tolerated in a 30-month study in which 75 patients received a 5-injection course of HYALGAN every 6 months.
