Noltrex is a medical product administered via intra-articular injection and used to treat joint disorders such as osteoarthritis. Made of a synthetic polymer, Noltrex aims to increase mobility and reduce pain by supporting joint fluid.
What is Noltrex?
Noltrex is a polyacrylamide-based hydrogel formulation. When injected into a joint, it acts as a natural synovial fluid by remaining in the joint space for extended periods. This reduces friction between joint surfaces and alleviates pain during movement.
Factor Properties
Polyacrylamide based viscoelastic material
Permanent effect on the joint space for a long time
Synthetic and biocompatible structure
What is it used for?
Knee osteoarthritis (knee calcification)
Hip and shoulder osteoarthritis
Limited joint movements
Chronic joint pain
Joint noises due to friction during movement
How Does It Work?
Noltrex mimics the lubricating and shock-absorbing properties of synovial fluid. It can also indirectly reduce inflammation. By providing mechanical support in the joint space, it allows joint surfaces to move more freely.
How to Apply?
Noltrex is administered only by intra-articular injection by an orthopedic or physical therapy specialist.
Application Process
Clinical evaluation is performed before application.
The injection is performed under local anesthesia.
The procedure usually takes between 10 and 15 minutes.
The healing process may vary from person to person.
What are the advantages?
It is a non-surgical treatment option
Provides relief by mimicking natural joint fluid
Can provide long-lasting effect with a single injection
Creates a mechanical protection effect on the cartilage
It is an alternative method for patients who do not want to use medication.
Who Can Use It?
Stage 1 and 2 knee osteoarthritis patients
Those who experience knee or shoulder pain due to arthritis
Patients who are not suitable for joint surgery
Individuals with chronic pain who do not respond to medications
Are There Any Side Effects?
Pain, swelling, or tenderness may occasionally occur at the injection site after the procedure. Although the risk of infection is low, sterile procedures are essential. Potential side effects are generally temporary.
Where to Buy Noltrex?
Noltrex is a prescription product and is available only through licensed healthcare providers. Administration is typically performed in specialized orthopedic clinics or physical therapy centers. It is not available directly through pharmacies.
Things to Consider
A doctor's approval must be obtained before use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Application should be done with caution in individuals with bleeding disorders.
Rest is recommended for the first 24 hours after the injection.
