Brief Answer:
you can use them again

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

you can use them again but simple analgesics like paracetamol (acetaminophen) are preferable. Repeated treatment with hyalgan has not shown increased risk of side effects besides the expected ones from a single cycle of treatment.

Kind Regards!
