Visco-3 is a knee osteoarthritis treatment medication available by prescription and administered as an injection once a week. It is effective for reducing knee pain caused by inflammation of arthritis and will often be prescribed when oral pain reliever medications are not working well enough. Hyaluronate is very similar in constituency to a substance that occurs naturally in the joints, and it improves lubrication as well as reinforcing the knee against pressure and shocks.

What is Osteoarthritis?

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease, and it occurs when cartilage in the joint begins to break down and the bone under the joint begins to change. This results in the person suffering pain, stiffness, and swelling. For some people osteoarthritis in their joints may be debilitating to the point that they have trouble working or doing daily tasks. Osteoarthritis most commonly affects the hands, hips, and knees and it affects men and women equally.
