Composition:

Sodium hyaluronate

Indications:

The local treatment of non-infectious inflammatory joint disease and tendinitis.

Principles of action:

Sodium hyaluronate is a mucopolysaccharide that is useful in the treatment of synovitis not associated with severe degenerative joint disease. It may be helpful to treat secondary synovitis in conditions where full thickness cartilage loss exists. Sodium hyaluronate is found normally in the connective tissues and synovial fluids of equines and many other animals. Because this compound is normally found in the animal’s body, it does not create immune reaction when animals are treated with it.

Sodium hyaluronate can help in maintaining the joint health. It also acts to inhibit inflammatory responses and improves the lubrication of the joint fluid.
