Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Supartz (sodium hyaluronate) is an injectable medication that is administered intra-articularly for treating pain related to knee osteoarthritis in patients who did not respond adequately to conservative, non-drug treatments and simple pain relievers such as acetaminophen.
A qualified healthcare provider will administer Supartz via an intra-articular injection once a week–following strict aseptic techniques–for a total of 5 injections.
Patients are advised to refrain from engaging in strenuous or prolonged weight-bearing activities for 48 hours following their Supartz injection.
If you have any questions or concerns, contact your doctor.
Sodium hyaluronate is the active ingredient in Supartz.
Patients who have an allergy to any of the ingredients in Supartz or patients who have infections or skin diseases in the injectable areas should not receive Supartz.
Supartz side effects include but are not limited to reactions at the injection site; pain at the injection site; pain in the joints; pain of the back; non-specific pain; headache; and issues of the joints.
