Cingal is single intra-articular injection of a corticosteroid, triamcinolone hexacetonide, and hyaluronic acid (Monovisc) intended for quick and supported knee relief from discomfort caused by osteoarthritis of the knee. Cingal is a blend of hyaluronan joined with a steroid. Hyaluronan is a characteristic compound found in high sums in your joint tissues and in the liquid that fills your joints. When you have knee OA, there may not be sufficient hyaluronan in your knee joint and the quality might be lower than normal. Cingal adds hyaluronan to your knee joint, going about as a lubricant and shock absorber in the joint. Cingal additionally contains a steroid, triamcinolone hexacetonide, which gives short-term and durable help with discomfort by diminishing aggravation.
