InjectionWhat is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Orthovisc Overview
Orthovisc is used to treat knee pain in patients with joint inflammation (osteoarthritis). It is usually used in patients who have not responded to other treatments such as acetaminophen, exercise, or physical therapy. Hyaluronate (also known as hyaluronan) is similar to a substance that occurs naturally in the joints. It may work by acting as a lubricant and shock absorber in the joint, helping the knee to move smoothly, thereby lessening pain.
How to Use Orthovisc
Read the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your health care professional before you start using hyaluronate and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. Your doctor will give Orthovisc by injection into the affected joint, usually once a week. Skin disinfectants that contain ammonium salts (such as benzalkonium chloride) should not be used to prepare the injection site. Your doctor may need to remove extra fluid from the joint before injecting the medicine. Dosage of Orthovisc is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Hyaluronate should not be injected into a vein or artery because increased side effects may occur. After receiving an injection of hyaluronate, you should avoid any activities that put stress on your knee (such as jogging, tennis, heavy lifting, standing on your feet for more than an hour) for 48 hours. Also, after the injection, you may experience increased pain and swelling in the knee at first. If the pain or swelling continues or worsens, talk to your doctor promptly. It is important to have Orthovisc injected on schedule. It may take up to 3 injections before the full benefits of Orthovisc occur. Tell your doctor if your condition lasts or gets worse.
Orthovisc Precautions
Before using hyaluronate, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or if you have any other allergies. For some brands, also tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to bird proteins, feathers, or egg products. Orthovisc may contain inactive ingredients (such as latex found in the rubber syringe cap of some brands), which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details. Before using Orthovisc, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history,knee joint infections, skin infections/problems in the area around the injection site, circulation problems in the legs. During pregnancy, Orthovisc should be used only when clearly needed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. It is unknown whether Orthovisc passes into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Orthovisc Misdose
