What Is Euflexxa Gel Prescribed For?
Qwhat is euflexxa gel ( I hint it is a knee injection to relieve pain). How long will it work. Are there any other gels that are injected into he knee for pain relief besides cordizon. I also had a jel injected into my other knee 10 to 15 years ago. I think the name for it started with a k and that it was a hyaluric acid type jel. Thank you for your help

Hello,
Euflexxa Gel is for Pain relief at your Knee joint, it contains a Chemical Hyaluronate. So, the other drug which you told is a Steroid, this is used to reduce Pain.
There is an alternative for this, we can use NSAIDS or synthetic NSAIDS or else we can use Transdermal Patches for long term usage. We have to select the Injection based on our requirement.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
