Ostenil Plus should be injected into the knee joint cavity away from veins and away from muscle tissue. Inject once every week for 3 injections.How does OSTENIL work? OSTENIL Plus is a clear medicine which contains hyaluronate, a pure animal free substance that is completely biocompatible and imitates the lubricant in the knee joint. In osteoarthritis, the synovial fluid at the knee joint is much less with no lubrication. This makes the knee largely susceptible to any pain as there is no barrier to cushion the bones. The hyaluronate reduces the pressure on the knee joint allowing it to move freely without pain. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural substance found inside the human body. It's key properties are to keep the knee lubricated. HA naturally breaks down in the body during metabolism and is then replaced. However as we get older and our metabolism slows down, replacement of HA is less often which results in less lubrication and fats. The antioxidant (Mannitol) plays an important role to eliminate the distressing effects of free radicals on the skin dermis, whilst stopping any gel degradation from occurring and the risk of post-injection inflammation.How long will Ostenil provide pain relief?The treatment will last for several months.What is in the box? 1 x pre-filled sterile syringe of 40 mg/2.0 ml OSTENIL
