Usage

Orthovisc (Sodium Hyaluronate) is a prescription injection used to treat knee pain caused by osteoarthritis (source). Orthovisc is used in patients when they have tried other treatments such as acetaminophen, exercise, or physical therapy but have not responded to these treatments. Hyaluronate (Hyaluronan) is similar to the substance that occurs naturally in the joints. This medication works by acting as a lubricant and shock absorber in the joint, helping the knee move smoothly and lessen the pain.

Side Effects

As the patient information leaflet states, the common side effects of Orthovisc may include:
• An overall achy feeling;
• Back pain;
• Fast or pounding heartbeat;
• Fever;
• Rash or bruising at the injection site;
• Temporary pain or swelling of the affected joint;
• Tingling skin

The above list contains only some of this medication's side effects. For a complete list of side effects, please refer to Drugs.com. Many people using Orthovisc do not experience serious side effects. However, if you encounter a rare but severe allergic reaction, such as difficulty breathing, throat closure, or swelling of the lips, tongue, or face, contact your doctor immediately.

Warnings and Interactions

The following are several precautions and interactions associated with the use of Orthovisc; please check out WebMD for a comprehensive list: do not use Orthovisc if you are allergic to Sodium Hyaluronate or if you have any other allergies. After the Orthovisc injection, you may experience increased pain and swelling in the knee joint. You should avoid strenuous activities or standing on your feet for a long time within 48 hours.

As Drugs.com stated, talk to your doctor about your medical history before you start using Orthovisc:
• If you have an allergy to gram-positive bacteria proteins;
• If you have hemophilia, or bleeding or blood clotting disorder;
• If you have an infection in the skin or your knee

Tell your doctor about all your medications, including OTC and herbal medications. This medication should not be used during pregnancy unless it is needed. It is unknown whether this medication passes into breast milk. Talk to your doctor before breastfeeding a baby. Orthovisc is not approved for use by patients younger than 21 (source).
