TREATMENT FOR JOINT PAIN OR STIFFNESS
HyaFLEX FORTE is recommended for the treatment of joint pain or joint stiffness resulting from degenerative or post-traumatic knee osteoarthritis, as a replacement for or together with a traditional non-pharmacological therapy or analgesic treatment.
HYAFLEX FORTE is recommended for horses and ponies, particularly during periods involving competitions and/or dressage.
Properties
All of the synovial joints, notably the weight-bearing joints that support the weight of the body, contain viscoelastic hyaluronic acid. This substance has lubricating properties and properties that offer protection against shocks.
Reduction of stress on the cartilage allows it to regenerate and consequently slows the progression of osteoarthritis. The stabilised hyaluronic acid contained in Hyaflex is a natural polysaccharide derived from microorganisms (Streptococcus zooepidemicus), and then purified.
HyaFLEX FORTE is injected into the articular cavity to restore synovial fluid.
