Description Synvisc one 1 GENZYME 6 ml syringe
Synvisc one (Hylan GF 20) is a viscoelastic solution of hyaluronic acid recommended to relieve pain caused by osteoarthritis (a condition that causes "wear and tear" on the knee joint). Synvisc one (Hylan GF 20) has been shown to be effective when administered in all stages of joint disease. Supplementation with Synvisc one (Hylan GF 20) is a treatment that reduces pain and discomfort and thus increases the range of motion of the joint.
Description of Synvisc one
Synvisc one (Hylan GF 20) is a sterile, non-pyrogenic elastovisous fluid that contains hylans. Hylans are derivatives of hyaluronan (sodium hyaluronate) and are made up of repeating units of N-acetylglucosamine and sodium glucuronate. Synvisc one (Hylan GF 20) is biologically similar to hyaluronan. In vitro studies have shown that Synvisc one (Hylan GF 20) protects cartilage cells against certain physical and chilic lesions. Pain relief can last up to 6 months.
Directions for use of Synvisc one
Intra-articular route. Reserved for adults. The usual recommended dose is one injection into the knee joint. It is important that this medical device is used as directed by your doctor. Synvisc one (Hylan GF 20) should only be administered intraarticularly and by a doctor.

Viscoelastic solution, hyaluronic acid. Each ml of sterile, pyrogen-free elastovis liquid contains 8 mg of hylan. Excipient with known effect: disodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium chloride, sodium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate and water for injection.
Precautions for using Synvisc one

Our advice from pharmacy experts
What is a joint made of ?
A healthy joint is made up of cartilage and synovial fluid, which protect the bones from impact and friction.
In an arthritis joint, the cartilage crumbles and the synovial fluid can no longer play its protective role. There is then a friction between the bones which causes pain, joint stiffness and swelling.
The injection of Synvisc-One replaces the arthritic synovial fluid with a natural substance forming a cushion which protects and lubricates the joint.
In the osteoarthritis knee, synovial fluid (also called "synovia") can leak out. When this happens, the knee loses its protective, lubricating pad.
Synvisc-One replaces arthritis synovial fluid to relieve pain and improve the ability of the joint to act as a natural shock absorber.
