In the treatment of osteoarthritis knee pain, SYNVISC is taking efficacy further. Because viscosupplements are injected directly into the knee, they have none of the GI or cardiovascular safety issues associated with oral medications.  And, SYNVISC is the only viscosupplement that can offer your patients:

• Up to six months of knee pain relief with only three injections
• Double the knee pain relief when added to standard treatment, such as diet, exercise, acetaminophen and NSAIDs.*¹

Click the sections on the left to learn how SYNVISC provides a large analgesic treatment effect, as shown in clinical trials, and greater osteoarthritis knee pain relief than a non-cross-linked product.

* Precise placement of the injection into the joint space must be achieved in order to optimize efficacy and minimize adverse reactions. The knee joint should be aspirated before the SYNVISC injection.
