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.

The HA is a polymer of repeating disaccharide units of glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-glucosamine derived from a bacterial fermentation process.
