TEVA hyaluronic acid - 10 syrg. 25 mg X 2,5 ml (joint agent)

What are TEVA hyaluronic acid injections 25 mg? 

The utilization of hyaluronic acid injections within joint treatment has proven to be a valuable approach for addressing the discomfort associated with osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. One notable option in this regard is TEVA hyaluronic acid, available in syringes, which demonstrates effectiveness akin to Adant Dispo injections. By engaging in a course of injections directed into the joint cavity, the therapy facilitates the restoration of depleted intra-articular fluid, essential for optimal joint function. This restorative process contributes to enhanced joint mobility and a marked reduction in pain levels.

A particularly noteworthy outcome of this treatment approach is its potential to forestall or significantly delay the necessity for joint replacement surgery. This implication holds significance as it may extend the period before such interventions become imperative, possibly spanning several decades. It's important to note that the administration of TEVA injections does not typically result in swelling. In fact, patients can often resume their regular activities a mere 10 minutes post-treatment.

However, it is important to note that the this medication should be administered only by healthcare professionals. Prior to commencing treatment, a comprehensive examination supported by X-rays is recommended to assess the suitability of the therapy for the individual. It is further advised that the frequency of administration should not exceed once per week or twice per year, to maintain the balance of treatment effectiveness and safety.
