Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural substance produced by the body. The chemical is normally found in high amounts in the joint tissue and in the fluid that encircles the joints. In cases of osteoarthritis, the amount of natural HA is reduced and the quality may be poorer than normal, which causes irritation and inflammation, pain and stiffness in the joints. CINGAL® adds HA to the joints where it acts as a lubricant and shock absorber, while the triamcinolone hexacetonide reduces the inflammation. CINGAL® only requires a single injection to achieve fast acting and long lasting pain relief.

CINGAL is a powerful single injection treatment for the pain of osteoarthritis. CINGAL is the first approved combination of viscosupplement that combines proven benefits of a proprietary hyaluronic acid (HA) with a well-established steroid to provide fast acting and long lasting pain relief from osteoarthritis.
When you have osteoarthritis, there may not be enough natural hyaluronan in the joint, and the quality of the hyaluronan may be poorer than normal. By injecting CINGAL, a higher concentration of HA is achieved, which in conjunction with the steroid helps to reduce pain and improve joint mobility. CINGAL is given in one single injection directly into the knee joint, where it acts as a lubricant and shock absorber. The product provides long long lasting pain relief and is proven to last up to 6 months.
