About HAKEM INJECTION

HAKEM INJECTION is indicated in the treatment of pain in osteoarthritis of the knee in patients who have failed to respond adequately to non-pharmacologic therapy, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or simple analgesics (pain killers).

HAKEM INJECTION contains 'Hyaluronic acid' that works by reducing friction between the joints. Thereby providing relief from pain.

In some cases, HAKEM INJECTION may cause common side effects such as diarrhoea, headache, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and stomach pain. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

HAKEM INJECTION is not recommended for people below 21 years. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. The safety and efficacy of HAKEM INJECTION have not been established for use in joints other than the knee. Inform your doctor if you have a joint infection or skin disease in the affected area.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Osteoarthritis: It is a degenerative joint disease in which the two ends of the joints come together due to the breakdown of a protective covering called cartilage. Due to the absence of this protective covering, the joints rub against each other, leading to pain and stiffness. Symptoms of osteoarthritis include pain, stiffness, inflammation and tenderness. The main reason for osteoarthritis is age, the older you are, the more likely you could get osteoarthritis, thus known as degenerative disease, meaning that the joints wear out as a person ages. Other reasons include a past injury such as torn cartilage, dislocated joints and ligament injuries.

FAQs

HAKEM INJECTION works by reducing friction between the joints. Thereby providing relief from pain.
The safety and effectiveness of HAKEM INJECTION in joints other than the knee have not been established. So its use in other joints than the knee should be avoided.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural viscous gel fluid found in the joints of the body. This fluid works as a lubricant and shock absorber for smooth movement. It reduces friction and provides lubrication. When Hyaluronic acid gets reduced, it causes the bone to rub together leading to pain, stiffness, and other symptoms associated with osteoarthritis.
Avoid jogging or high-impact sports such as soccer or tennis. Also, avoid weight-bearing activity or standing for longer than 1 hour at a time. Consult your doctor if you have any concerns.
