Supartz® (Italian)

What does this product come with?
Each pack of Supartz® comes with five prefilled syringes that contain 2.5ml of the medication.

What are the benefits of Supartz®?
Supartz® is an FDA approved treatment that can be effective in treating the symptoms associated with osteoarthritis. A 2006 integrated analysis of five studies has shown a statistically significant reduction in pain and stiffness among test subjects after a five-week course of treatment. It has also been found to stimulate cartilage growth, which is especially helpful for patients with osteoarthritis because cartilage deterioration is one of the causes of the disease.

What is Supartz® made of?
Supartz® is made up of sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid), which is extracted from chicken combs. Supartz® is also made up of sodium chloride, dibasic sodium phosphate dodecahydrate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate dihydrate, and water.

How do I use this product?
Administering Supartz® products must be performed in accordance with strictly aseptic standards. Avoid the use of disinfectants containing ammonium salts, as it causes sodium hyaluronate to precipitate. Using a 22–23G needle, inject Supartz® intra-articularly into the joint. The full 2.5ml of the syringe must be injected in one joint. If you are treating both knees, use another syringe for the other knee. If there’s the presence of joint effusion, it should be removed prior to injection.

What can I use Supartz® for?
Supartz® injectable is mainly used for treating symptoms related to knee osteoarthritis. It is a non-invasive procedure that has been proven to relieve knee pain, stiffness, and swelling among patients who are unresponsive to other known treatment options of knee osteoarthritis.

What areas should I use this product on?
Because it is specifically designed for treating osteoarthritis in the knee, this treatment should be used for application on the knee.

What are the side effects?
Sodium hyaluronate in Supartz® is similar to the synovial fluid present in joints, so allergic reactions are rare. However, if your patients are allergic to eggs, feathers, and other avian products, you should not give them this treatment. Additionally, Supartz® has potential side effects, including bruising, itching, redness, and pain at the site of injection. These side effects are temporary and usually resolve themselves within a few days. Some patients have also reported nausea, headaches, and vomiting. Check the product leaflet for a complete list of side effects, precautions, and contraindications.
