SYNVISC® is an FDA-approved therapy that provides lubrication for your knee. It also acts as a "shock absorber" to cushion your knee joint.

SYNVISC is an elastic and viscous fluid that is made from a substance called hyaluronan that is found in normal joint fluid. Hyaluronan acts as a "shock absorber" and lubricant in your knee joint and is needed for your joint to work properly. SYNVISC is indicated for the treatment of pain in osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee in patients who have failed to respond adequately to conservative nonpharmacologic therapy, and simple analgesics, e.g., acetaminophen.

SYNVISC is not a drug. It is made from a substance that is found in normal joint fluid and is injected directly into the knee joint.
