Description

Durolane 60 mg/3 mL is a single-injection treatment designed to provide long-lasting pain relief in patients suffering from osteoarthritis (OA). The formulation contains hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance that acts as a lubricant and shock absorber in the synovial fluid of joints. Durolane is specifically indicated for use in the knee and hip joints to alleviate pain associated with OA and improve joint function.

Hyaluronic acid, the active component in Durolane, is highly purified and bioengineered to mimic the HA found in healthy synovial fluid. The mechanism of action involves restoring the viscoelastic properties of the joint fluid, which reduces friction and mechanical stress in the affected joint. This results in improved mobility and pain relief for a prolonged duration.

Administered as a single intra-articular injection, Durolane provides convenience and minimizes the need for repeated treatments. Its safety profile is well-established, with common side effects limited to mild localized pain or swelling at the injection site. The treatment is contraindicated in patients with infections or skin conditions near the injection area.
