Supartz

Supartz is a prescription medication used to treat knee osteoarthritis pain. It contains hyaluronic acid, a natural substance in joint fluid that helps cushion and lubricate the knee joint. In osteoarthritis, this fluid becomes thinner and less effective, leading to pain and stiffness. Supartz is injected directly into the knee to supplement natural hyaluronic acid, improving joint movement and reducing discomfort. It is often part of a treatment plan when other options, like medications or physical therapy, do not provide sufficient relief. The goal is to improve joint function and quality of life for individuals suffering from knee degenerative changes.
