Nutraferon FEROVISC Injection

In osteoarthritis, natural synovial joint fluid becomes thin and loses its cushioning ability. Injecting purified Sodium Hyaluronate directly into the joint cavity restores viscosity and elasticity—acting as both a lubricant and a shock absorber between articulating bone surfaces.

No. Unlike corticosteroids (which rapidly suppress inflammation short-term but can weaken cartilage if repeated too frequently) or oral NSAIDs (which carry stomach and kidney risks), Nutraferon FEROVISC is a local biomechanical viscosupplement that restores the joint fluid environment.

It is primarily indicated for osteoarthritis of the knee joint in patients who have not responded adequately to conservative non-pharmacologic therapy and simple analgesics, and may be used in other synovial joints per orthopaedic specialist assessment.

The injection must never be given if there is an active skin infection over the joint or an infected/severely inflamed joint (septic arthritis). After receiving the injection, rest the joint for 48 hours and avoid strenuous impact activities; mild transient warmth, swelling, or aching at the injection site can be relieved with a cold pack.

While some patients notice improved lubrication within the first 1 to 2 weeks, maximal pain relief and functional improvement typically build over 3 to 5 weeks as endogenous synovial balance is restored, lasting up to 6 months.
