Product Introduction

Hylasto One injection contains sodium hyaluronate, an intra-articular agent that mimics the natural fluid in joints. It lubricates and protects joints, functioning as a shock absorber to relieve knee pain in patients with osteoarthritis. This medicine is typically administered to patients who have had inadequate response to other arthritis medications.

Do not use Hylasto One injection if you are allergic to sodium hyaluronate or any ingredient in the formulation. Do not use this medication if you have an infection in your knee or in the skin surrounding your knee.

Before using this medicine, inform your doctor if you have a history of blood clots or circulatory issues in your legs, or if you have an allergy to birds, feathers, or egg products. Report to your doctor if you have pre-existing chondrocalcinosis (cartilage calcification). Use in children aged 21 years and younger is not recommended, as safety and effectiveness have not been established in this age group.

Before starting Hylasto One injection, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. Notify your doctor of any pre-existing medical conditions.

Common side effects include pain, redness, stiffness, bruising, or swelling at the injection site; nausea; stomach pain; difficulty walking; back pain; joint pain; muscle pain; numbness or tingling; headache; dizziness; and nasal congestion or rhinorrhoea.

How it works

Hylasto One injection works by providing extra lubrication and cushioning to the knee joint affected by osteoarthritis. It helps reduce friction and protect the joint, which can ease pain and improve movement. The injection replenishes the natural fluid in the joint, providing relief and support for better knee function.

How to Use

Hylasto One injection will be administered to you by a healthcare professional in a hospital setting. Do not self-administer. It is usually administered into the knee joint. Your doctor will decide the dose, route of administration, and frequency based on your disease condition and other factors.

Side Effects

Side effects are unwanted symptoms caused by medicines. Even though all medicines cause side effects, not everyone gets them. Serious Severe pain or swelling around the knee Common Pain, redness, stiffness, bruising, or puffiness at the injection site Nausea Stomach pain Trouble walking Back pain Joint pain Muscle pain Numbness or tingly feeling Headache Dizziness Runny or stuffy nose

Expert Tips

Avoid using skin disinfectants that contain quaternary ammonium salts or chlorhexidine along with Hylasto One injection, as it may cause hyaluronan to form clumps. After intra-articular injection, avoid strenuous activities and prolonged weight-bearing activities (over an hour) for 48 hours as part of the treatment. Do not stop the medicine until your doctor advises. Do not breastfeed while taking Hylasto One injection unless doctor advise. Notify your doctor if you experience any serious side effects. Your medical professional will inform you if you need any dose adjustments. Contact your doctor for more information.
