Haimovis in the joint. Reviews, instructions for use, price

Khaimovis is an effective chondroprotective medication, actively used for the treatment of patients with degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the musculoskeletal system. The agent is injected into the joint, which makes it possible to achieve the maximum therapeutic effect in the area of ​​the lesion, to reduce the likelihood of progression of symptoms.

Reviews about the action of the medication are left mainly by patients who use it in courses. Their opinion may differ, which is associated with the individual reaction of tissues to the components of the composition.

Composition and form of release

The drug can be found in pharmacies in the form of a special solution, which is used only parenterally. The solution is presented as a clear liquid without color and a pronounced odor, packaged in special syringes intended for single administration only.

Glass syringes, transparent, contain 3 ml of solution. They are placed not only in a special plastic contour cell, but also in a cardboard box. This box can contain 1 or 2 syringes.

The composition of the drug includes the ingredient sodium hyaluronate hexadecylamide, which has pronounced therapeutic properties.

The solution also contains auxiliary substances:

• Water for injections.
• Sodium chloride.
• Sodium dihydrogen phosphate dihydrate.

These substances have no medicinal properties. The amount of the main component per 1 dose of the drug is 24 mg.

Terms of sale, prices

The drug is expensive, which is considered its main disadvantage. A package with 1 dose of the drug costs about 9500-11000 rubles. depending on the region of distribution and the specific pharmacy.

The dispensing of the solution is carried out after the presentation of the prescription form from the doctor.

Pharmacological properties

Hymovis in the joint (reviews on the effect of ingredients on tissues should be studied by patients before use) is often administered if the doctor considers this method effective for the treatment of pathologies of cartilage and connective fabrics.

The medication has chondroprotective properties, that is, it acts as a substitute for intra-articular fluid, but at the same time accelerates the process of partial or complete restoration of cartilage. The effect depends on the characteristics of therapy and the symptoms of a particular disease.

The drug has protective properties, preventing the development of complications as a result of constant friction of the heads of the bones during movement.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

After the fluid enters the joint cavity, it spreads and concentrates precisely in the affected area. The drug creates a kind of protective film on the surface of the cartilage, which reduces the likelihood of rapid tissue destruction and the development of complications.

The film prevents friction of bones, relieves stress on the articular joint, especially during prolonged exercise, running, walking. As a result, acute symptoms from the musculoskeletal system are eliminated.

Experts note other properties of the drug:

• The tool helps to improve the condition of the tissues, especially in the case when the patient is undergoing treatment before the development of severe complications.
• Facilitates movement in articular joints not only by eliminating friction. But also thanks to the replenishment of the synovial fluid, which has a shock-absorbing effect.
• Helps reduce the likelihood of developing irreversible changes in large articular joints. Most often, the drug is used in the area of ​​the knee or hip joint, which is explained by the increased load on these joints.
• Stimulates metabolic processes in the connective tissue of the joint, which also has a positive effect on the general condition and course of the disease.
• It has mild analgesic properties, especially in the acute stage of the pathological condition. Patients notice the elimination of pain usually a few days after using the remedy.

The medication does not work immediately. That is, there is no immediate improvement after administration of the solution. Despite this, the effect can be felt within a few days after the introduction of the initial therapeutic dose. The drug in a minimal amount enters the systemic circulation, since its main amount is concentrated in the synovial bag.

After completing the course, a small amount of ingredients can be found in the systemic circulation. The effect of medication therapy lasts for 30 days. After this period, the active substance is naturally degraded by the substances present in the patient's synovial fluid.

The accumulation of the substance does not occur, that is, after 30 days it is impossible to detect it in the synovial fluid and blood. In patients with severe diseases of the articular joints, the therapeutic effect may persist for a shorter period.

Indications for use

Khaimovis is used for diseases of the musculoskeletal system of varying severity, since the solution is injected into the joint.

Numerous patient reviews confirm the effectiveness in the case of appointment for the following violations:

• Arthrosis with damage to the knee joint. In this case, the medication can be used with varying degrees of severity of the symptoms of the disease.
• Coxarthrosis, accompanied by impaired patient mobility. With such a violation, the patient's hip joint is affected, which significantly worsens the condition.
• Closed joint injuries, in which there is severe pain, signs of damage to the cartilage tissue, articular bag appear.
• Inflammatory pathologies of the articular joints, accompanied by degenerative-dystrophic changes. The drug does not have anti-inflammatory properties, but its positive effect on cartilage tissue somewhat weakens the symptoms of pathology.

The tool can be used prophylactically in patients who do not yet suffer from severe diseases of the articular joints, but who are subject to intense physical exertion. Often these patients already show signs of destruction, but they do not appear in an acute form. At the same time, the solution helps to stop the progression of the disease.

Contraindications

The main obstacle to prescribing the drug is considered intolerance to the components of the drug. In this case, the patient does not necessarily suffer from an allergy to the main ingredient; reactions often develop in response to excipients. The drug is not used for the treatment of children and adolescents, since there is no data on its effect on the tissues of such patients.

Other contraindications include the following conditions:

• Pregnancy and lactation period. The ingredients of the composition do not cross the placental barrier and do not pass into breast milk, but studies have not been conducted to confirm the safety of the solution for women during this period.
• Purulent inflammation of the joint capsule. Only after the elimination of acute symptoms and complete cleansing of the tissues is it possible to treat with a solution, if the doctor considers it appropriate.
• Violation of the integrity of the synovial bag. The medicine in this case is ineffective, since in order to achieve a therapeutic result, it must be located directly in the joint cavity.
• Severe swelling of the articular joint. The drug can be used for closed-type injuries, but pronounced edema must be eliminated, since the effectiveness is somewhat reduced, but additional complications may develop.
• Infectious diseases of the skin, the foci of which are localized directly in the area of ​​the intended administration of the solution. Only after the relief of symptoms is it allowed to use the solution. Damage to the lesions can worsen the condition.
• Bleeding in the area of ​​the intended injection of the solution.
• Severe sprains or even tears of the ligaments. It is better to use the solution only after elimination of acute symptoms and tissue repair.

For patients, there may be individual contraindications, which are determined during a diagnostic examination by a traumatologist.

Method of administration and dosage

Khaimovis into the joint (reviews of patients after completing the course are considered the most objective) is administered only in a hospital setting and after a preliminary thorough examination. This is due to the possibility of complications in the first few hours after administration.

The treatment regimen in most cases does not depend on the disease. The standard method is mainly used, which involves the introduction of 1 dose of the drug into the joint cavity once a week. The course consists of 3 procedures, it is repeated no earlier than after 4-6 months, depending on the initial state of the tissues.

To get the maximum benefit from the product, patients should avoid intense exertion for 3 days before the procedure. On the day of manipulation, you should not take pain medications, as well as alcoholic beverages. Eating food and liquids is not prohibited. If the patient takes drugs with diuretic properties on an ongoing basis, it is better to refuse them on this day.

The manipulation is performed in the treatment room, observing a clear sequence:

• The patient takes a comfortable position on the couch. When inserted into the knee or shoulder joint, it can sit, with pathologies of the hip joints, it is better to be in a horizontal position.
• The area of ​​introduction is freed from clothing.
• The puncture sites of the skin are treated with antiseptic solutions 2 times.
• The specialist then injects the solution using a sterile long needle. Usually, in the area of ​​the hip and knee joints, 2 punctures are made on both sides of the joint, which allows you to achieve a more pronounced result.
• After the injection of the solution, the injection site is re-treated with an antiseptic solution. When blood appears, it is necessary to leave a cotton swab until the bleeding stops completely. After that, a plaster is usually glued to the puncture site.

The patient should not be in the hospital for all 3 weeks if the doctor does not consider it necessary. Manipulations during repeated courses are also carried out in a hospital. After the procedure, the patient must be in a horizontal position for 2 hours in order to exclude any stress on the joint. It is not recommended to load the joint throughout the day. That is, it is not prohibited to move carefully. But it is better not to exercise, to exclude running and lifting weights.

Compliance with this regimen will allow you to achieve a more pronounced result and eliminate the likelihood of complications after the procedure.

Side effects

The medication can provoke negative reactions, even if all the recommendations of a specialist are followed. In this case, complications mainly affect the affected area, but are often systemic in nature.

Damage area	Frequent negative reactions
The joint into which the agent is injected	In most cases, complications affect the area of ​​the affected joint. There is swelling of the joint, redness of the skin and soreness when touched or squeezed. In advanced cases, there is an increase in body temperature in the joint area, the development of a purulent inflammatory process. In this case, the skin becomes not red, but cyanotic, severe pain is observed, the patient cannot move if the joint of the lower limb is affected. As symptoms progress, the infection can spread throughout the body, making the condition worse. Usually, such violations occur when the rules for administering the solution are not followed.
Skin	On the part of the skin, complications often occur when the patient is prone to allergic reactions. At the initial stages, a rash appears in the area of ​​application of the solution, which gradually spreads to large areas of the skin, accompanied by severe itching and burning, peeling of tissues. Patients can damage the outer layer of the skin by scratching the affected area, which only worsens the general condition. In severe allergies, the rash spreads to large areas of the skin, and other symptoms also worsen.
Nervous system	The nervous system rarely suffers during therapy. Usually, symptoms appear against the background of a severe course of an allergic reaction. Patients note increased irritability, sleep disturbance, decreased productivity, both mental and physical. Over a short period of time, symptoms can disappear or worsen on their own, depending on the individual patient.
Heart and blood vessels	If the patient additionally suffers from cardiovascular pathologies, their course during the treatment period may be aggravated. This is usually observed against the background of allergies or the appearance of acute manifestations from the side of the affected joint. Tachycardia and arrhythmia are aggravated by fluctuations in blood pressure, some patients report chest pain, especially in acute inflammation of the joint. In which the solution was introduced.

The appearance of complications is the reason for an immediate visit to the doctor. Usually, medications are prescribed to patients to normalize the condition and reduce the likelihood of worsening manifestations.

It is not recommended for patients on their own to use any external agents or to take them internally. Treatment often involves prescribing drugs from different groups. Often, patients are shown antihistamines, drugs to lower body temperature, sedatives and other medications.

Overdose

Haimovis in the joint (reviews of the medication can be negative, which is often associated with the development of complications in period of treatment) is administered in a single dose, and the course consists of 3 procedures, therefore, an overdose is not is developing.

Despite this, it is forbidden to inject more than the prescribed dose into the joint, even in the case of a severe course of the pathological condition.

special instructions

The medication is used only according to indications and after examination. Usually, experts recommend that patients undergo an X-ray examination of the articular joint, which allows them to assess the condition of the tissues and prescribe effective treatment.

During the period of therapy, patients may experience complications from the digestive tract, but in most cases they disappear after discontinuation of treatment. Patients with a history of diseases of the digestive system suffer from such disorders.

When nausea, pain in the stomach occurs, it is allowed to use medications to alleviate the condition, prescribed by a doctor.

Drug interactions

The solution is injected into the joint cavity only in pure form. It is not mixed with other products. Other solutions cannot be injected into the same joint immediately after manipulation, as this provokes complications.

But the drug does not affect the action of systemic drugs, therefore, at the same time, the patient can take medications orally, if it is necessary to eliminate the symptoms of other diseases.

If the patient takes any medication on an ongoing basis, it is worth informing the doctor about it.

Analogs

Haimovis into the joint (patient reviews allow us to assess the effect of the drug in advance) can not always be administered. Many patients suffer from intolerance to its ingredients or have other problems that prevent the use of the original solution.

Then the doctor selects substitutes with similar properties:

• Ostenil - a drug based on hyaluronate, which in its properties is similar to the main component of the original drug. The remedy compensates for the deficiency of synovial fluid, improves the condition of tissues, and reduces the likelihood of damage to the heads of bones. An analogue is used for injection into the joint, like the original. In this case, the treatment regimen may differ slightly. The medicine is somewhat cheaper, therefore it can be used as a substitute if it is impossible to purchase Haimovis solution.
• Fermatron also contains sodium hyaluronate as the main active ingredient, therefore it has chondroprotective properties, stimulates the production of synovial fluid. After its introduction into the joint cavity, the solution replaces the intra-articular fluid, which allows to reduce the load on the joints, improve metabolic processes, and eliminate signs of inflammation. Like many medicines with similar properties, the drug is expensive, but its price is slightly less than the original cost.
• Hyalur contains sodium hyaluronate, therefore it has a positive effect on the tissues of the articular joint. The medication helps to prevent friction of the heads of the bones during movement, replenishes the deficit of intra-articular fluid, and acts for a long time after the cancellation of therapy. Depending on the symptomatology and general condition of the patient, the analogue treatment regimen may differ. The remedy is more often prescribed for degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the joints than for injuries of various origins.

All analogs are intended for intra-articular administration, therefore, they are packaged in disposable special syringes that facilitate use. When choosing, a specialist pays attention not to the cost of a medicine, but to its properties and the response of a particular patient.

Storage conditions and periods

Storage of the sealed syringe is allowed for 3 years. The date of its production is indicated on the packaging.

During storage, it is necessary to exclude the possibility of exposure to sunlight. Be sure to keep the medication away from children.

Haimovis is an effective remedy for the treatment of pathologies of articular joints, which is actively used for professional athletes and patients with degenerative-dystrophic pathologies. The solution is injected into the joint, which reduces the stress on the affected tissue. Reviews on its use may differ, since the reaction of the body is different, complications may appear.
