GenVisc® 850 sodium hyaluronate (P140005) is indicated for the treatment of pain in osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee in patients who have failed to respond adequately to conservative non-pharmacologic therapy and simple analgesics, e.g., acetaminophen. GenVisc 850 is a sterile, viscoelastic, non-pyrogenic solution (pH of 6.8-7.8) of highly purified, high molecular weight hyaluronic acid (HA) with an average molecular weight of 850,000 daltons and a range of 620,000 – 1,170,000 daltons). The HA is a polymer of repeating disaccharide units of glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-glucosamine derived from a bacterial fermentation process.
