Hyorth Injection

Who is this for?

Sodium Hyaluronate is a gel-like substance that is naturally found in the fluid around your joints — when injected into a joint, it acts like a lubricant and shock absorber to reduce pain and improve movement.

Binds to cartilage surfaces and synovial fluid to form a viscoelastic barrier that lubricates joints, reduces friction between articular surfaces, and attenuates mechanical stress on damaged cartilage during movement. Additionally, hyaluronate interacts with CD44 receptors on synovial cells, modulating inflammatory cytokine production and providing a protective hydrophilic film on ocular surfaces to maintain moisture and reduce irritation.

Is Sodium safe to take with another drug?

This is not a tablet — it is given as an injection directly into the affected joint (usually the knee) by a trained doctor or specialist. The typical dose is one injection per week for 3 to 5 weeks depending on the product. For example, Hyorth Injection is given this way. Do not attempt to inject yourself at home.

If you miss a scheduled injection appointment, contact your doctor as soon as possible to reschedule. Do not try to double up on injections.

• Pain or swelling at the injection site
• stiffness in the injected joint for a day or two
• warmth or redness around the joint

Avoid using disinfectants containing certain chemicals (like quaternary ammonium salts) on the skin near the injection site as they can break down the drug. There are no major food or alcohol interactions, but tell your doctor about all medications you are taking before the procedure.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat — Nigerian weather can be very hot, so avoid leaving it in a car or near a window. Keep refrigerated if the label says so. Always keep out of the reach of children.
