Avatar f tn Hi, Thanks for writing in. EUFLEXXA is a high purity hyaluronan, also called hyaluronic acid (HA) or sodium hyaluronate. HA is the natural substance found in the fluid that surrounds a healthy knee joint and helps cushion, lubricate, and protect the knee as you move throughout the day. You should not receive treatment with EUFLEXXA if you have: A known allergy to hyaluronate preparations, or knee joint infections, infections or skin disease in the area of the injection site.
Avatar m tn 15% sodium hyaluronate, and costs about $24 for three 10 ml vials, again at Costco. That product is made by Bayer, and I am not sure is available in the US, but I would think there must be other similar and reasonably priced products. Your other option to solve this issue would be to get a refractive lens exchange, even though you do not have cataracts. Most likely you would have to pay the full cost of the procedures.
Avatar n tn Hyalgan itself is not a pain killer it is a solution of sodium hyaluronate. Hyaluronate is a natural chemical found in the body. Hyalgan is one of the hyaluronates used in viscosupplementation. Hyalgan is injected directly into the knee joint to restore the cushioning and lubricating properties of normal joint fluid. Hyalgan was FDA approved way back in May of 1997.Hyalgan injections are typically given once a week, one week apart, for a total of five injections.
Avatar m tn Because you are asking about hyaluronic acid, and because of the recent addition of GAG's to pharmacy shelves, I think it's important to address a few points about the uses of these compounds therapeutically. On the up side, hyaluronic acid is the same from whatever source it is isolated, and it is so common in the body that it can be used as a hypoallergenic surgical material for reconstructing and building up tissues that are lost.

Any comments or experiences would be great.

Avatar f tn Hello, I went to the doctor to have a filler injected into the eyes dark circles area, the syringe with the gel (hyaluronic acid) was not new, I know because he took it out of a box but the blister was not sealed, I also saw that the gel in the syringe was not completely full, I saw that he took a needle with a cover from the blister, so I think the needle was new, and he placed it on the tip of the syringe with gel, I am worried that the gel (hyaluronic acid) has been contaminated with the bloo

Avatar m tn This has been treated with ultrasound, condroitin sulphate pills for three months, anti-inflammatory drugs on and off, and an insole. The pain when I walk is still there and at times intense. I have two questions: 1. Several physicians have propose hyaluronic acid or cortisone injections. Which is recommended? 2.

1083310 tn?1260107282 Hylan A and hylan B are made from a substance called hyaluronan (pronounced hye-a-loo-ROE-nan), also known as sodium hyaluronate that comes from chicken combs. This is a natural substance found in the body and is present in very high amounts in joints. The body's own hyaluronan acts like a lubricant and a shock absorber in the joint and is needed for the joint to work properly. There are no known drug interactions. Just let your doctor know all your meds tho.

Avatar m tn After a couple of ACL surgeries over the years due to sports injuries and regular knee pain ever since when exercising, descending stairs etc., I was looking into the option of a combined hyaluronic acid/PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injection - about which I'd heard great things - until I realised I didn't want to take the risk after the two half-botched operations I'd had done years ago. So I decided to simply take hyaluronic acid orally on the off-chance, and have had no pain since.
Avatar m tn ve had my eyes dialated twice and in both cases (one with an optometrist and one with a opthamologist) I was told everything looked fine and that my floaters was due to aging as well. The MD did a very thorough examThe reason I made the connection was that hyaluronic acid seems to be involved in both cases so I was curious if there is a connection. If you don't mind me asking, why would joint inflammation be a cause of concerns for floaters...?
Avatar m tn period of time in recording your numbers Heartburn is often a sign of stomach acid , reflux. It is easily treated. It can be discomforting and cause chest and stomach discomfort. The ecg is a simple but useful test. It covers the here and now, but can also show signs of possible issues like lvh or a previous heart attack.

Avatar f tn She barely listened to what I said, did no tests on my eyes, and took a glance in them and said I had dry eyes and recommended some over the counter gel. She also gave me tobramycin and dexamethasone ophthalmic suspension USP to put in my left eye because of a stye that I have. The stye has been there for quite awhile. My regular doctor gave me some antibiotics for it when I went for a check up but it didn't go away completely.
Avatar n tn Genigel, the new treatment, contains hyaluronic acid - a sub-stance found in the connective tissues of the body. When applied to gums, it provides a sticky film in which new cells and blood vessels can grow." "A week later, the teeth began to firm up. A month later, I could chew on them. The gel has actually made my gums grow back, which is something no amount of brushing or anti-bacterial mouthwashes could ever do.

Avatar f tn I finally got allergy tested at age 46 and also stopped as much MSG and glutamic acid as possible, and I have been sick only 1 time in the last 7 years. The problem is with this "fertilizer", AuxiGro. It was banned in the US and the FDA told Auxein that they could continue to make it as long as it was not sold in the US. So where did all this wonderful "fertilizer " go? Loads of it went to Mexico.
