What is the most important information I should know about sodium hyaluronate?
You should not receive sodium hyaluronate if you have an infection of your knee joint, or infection of the skin around your knee. Before receiving sodium hyaluronate, tell your doctor if you have an allergy to eggs, birds, or bird products. Sodium hyaluronate is given as an injection into your knee. This medicine is usually given as one injection per week for a total of 3 weeks. For the first 48 hours after your injection, avoid any strenuous or weight-bearing activity that lasts longer than 1 hour. This includes jogging, tennis, stair-climbing, or lifting weights. Follow your doctor’s instructions about other activity restrictions.
