Ostenil Dosage/Direction for Use

Inject OSTENIL into the affected joint once a week for a total of 3-5 injections. Several joints may be treated at the same time. Depending on the severity of the joint disease the beneficial effects of a treatment cycle of five intra-articular injections may last at least six months. Repeat treatment cycles may be administered as required. In case of joint effusion it is advisable to reduce the effusion by aspiration, rest, application of an ice pack and/or intra-articular corticosteroid injection. Treatment with OSTENIL can be started two to three days later.
The contents and outer surface of the OSTENIL pre-filled syringe are sterile as long as the sterile pack remains unbroken. Take the pre-filled syringe out of the sterile pack, unscrew the Luer lock cap from the syringe, attach a suitable needle (for example 19 to 21 G) and secure it by turning slightly. If present remove the bubble from the syringe prior to injection.
