Trivisc is indicated for the treatment of osteoarthritis-related joint pain, primarily in the knee. It is generally used when patients have not responded well to conservative treatments such as physical therapy, exercise, or oral pain medications.
Trivisc contains sodium hyaluronate, which supplements the natural hyaluronic acid in joint fluid. This helps restore the viscosity and elasticity of synovial fluid, potentially reducing friction and pain within the joint.
Trivisc is administered as a series of injections directly into the affected joint by a healthcare professional. Side effects may include joint pain, swelling, or stiffness at the injection site. Patients should follow their healthcare provider's dosing schedule and report any unusual symptoms. Safety during pregnancy or breastfeeding has not been established.
