The drug "Ostenil". Instructions for use

The preparation "Ostenil" describes the instruction as a means to restore the viscoelastic properties of the synovial fluid. The drug is produced in the form of a clear solution of highly purified native sodium gilauronate, obtained by bacterial fermentation. The product does not contain proteins of animal origin.

The antioxidant mannitol ensures the preservation of the therapeutic effect for half a year with a single injection.
