Usage

Synvisc (Hylan GF 20) is used to treat pain in the knee and joint inflammation caused by osteoarthritis (source). Hylan GF 20 belongs to the group of medications known as synovial fluid replacements. This medication is usually prescribed if treatment with the other arthritis medications has been unsuccessful. Hyaluronate is similar to a substance that occurs naturally in the joints. Synvisc works by acting as a lubricant and shock absorber in the joint, helping the knee to move smoothly, thereby lessening pain. Synvisc is not a pill. It's a therapy that can give you up to 6 months of pain relief from osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. According to a study, Synvisc can deliver great pain relief, which may lead to improved mobility. That means Synvisc may be able to offer you: up to 6 months of knee pain relief with just one course of treatment. A qualified healthcare professional injects Synvisc directly into your knee. Completion of the full three-injection treatment course is necessary to achieve the greatest benefit. Most patients feel the greatest pain relief 8 to 12 weeks after beginning treatment. Synvisc and Synvisc one are only for injection into the knee, performed by a doctor or other qualified health care professional (source).

Side Effects

Common Synvisc side effects may include knee pain, injection site pain, and swelling (source). The serious side effects may include:
• Back pain;

The above list contains only some of this medication's side effects. For a complete list of side effects, please refer to RXList.com. If you still have questions about the side effects, we suggest further conversations with your doctor.
