Euflexxa

Euflexxa is a brand of medication used to treat osteoarthritis (OA), a condition that affects the joints and causes pain, stiffness, and swelling. The active ingredient in Euflexxa is sodium hyaluronate, which is a natural substance found in the body’s joint fluid that helps lubricate and cushion the joint.

Euflexxa is administered by injection directly into the joint affected by OA. The treatment typically involves a series of three injections, given at weekly intervals. The injections are typically administered by a healthcare professional, such as a doctor or nurse.

Euflexxa is generally well-tolerated, with most side effects being mild and temporary. Common side effects include pain, swelling, and warmth at the injection site. Serious complications are rare but can include infection and allergic reactions.

Euflexxa is approved for use in several countries, including the United States and Europe. It is an effective treatment option for people with OA who have not found relief from other treatments, such as over-the-counter pain relievers or physical therapy. By providing additional lubrication and cushioning to the joint, Euflexxa can help reduce pain and improve mobility in people with OA.
