Safely Buy Hyalgan (Sodium Hyaluronate) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Description

Hyalgan Uses 

Hyalgan injection is a solution containing a high molecular weight of a purified sodium hyaluronate from rooster combs intended to work similarly to the naturally occurring substance found in the human joints. This medication is an intraarticular injection, a pain relief medication intended for osteoarthritis OA patients who have failed to respond adequately to other treatments such as exercise, acetaminophen, or physical therapy. Osteoarthritis is a wear and tear condition of the knee joints, which may also occur in hips and shoulder joints; the pain is caused by the synovial fluid getting too thick or thin that it can no longer protect the joints leading to cartilage damage. This medication mimics the function of synovial fluid, which is the lubricant of the joint; it lubricates and acts as a shock absorber in the joint to lessen the pain and help the knee move smoothly.  

Before starting this medication, disclose your medical history, especially knee joint infections, skin infections, and circulation problems in the legs; inform your doctor if you are allergic to avian proteins, feathers, and egg products.
