Monovisc is a viscoelastic injectable used to treat knee pain from osteoarthritis. It is made of a natural, biodegradable substance that mimics the properties of human cartilage. Monovisc is injected into the knee joint to help relieve pain and improve function.

Benefits for Monovisc Osteoarthritis Knee Pain Treatment

  • Quick and easy to administer – Monovisc prefilled syringes are easy to use, requiring no mixing or preparation prior to injection.
  • Immediate relief – Monovisc is formulated to provide immediate relief from knee pain and can substantially reduce the perceived level of pain immediately upon injection.
  • Long-term relief – Monovisc may provide long-term relief from knee pain by reducing inflammation and providing lubrication for the joint.
  • Minimal side effects – Monovisc carries minimal risks of side effects and is acetylated hyaloruni acid, which is a natural substance in human cartilage.
  • Low cost solution – Monovisc is inexpensive compared to other available treatments for osteoarthritis.

Monovisc (Sodium Hyaluronate) Osteoarthritis Knee Pain Treatment Injection Prefilled Syringes (high molecular weight hyaluronan injection) is a complex sugar used to treat pain in osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee in patients who have failed to respond adequately to conservative non-pharmacologic therapy or simple analgesics (e.g., acetaminophen).

Monovisc is a viscous (thick) sterile mixture made from highly purified hyaluronan from bacterial fermentation. Hyaluronan is a natural chemical found in the body. High amounts of hyaluronan are found in the joint tissues and in the fluid that fills the joints.

Monovisc™ is injected into the knee joint and is administered as a single intra-articular injection. Standard intra-articular injection site preparation and precautions should be used. Strict aseptic administration technique must be followed.


Directions For Use:

  • Using an 18 – 20 gauge needle, remove synovial fluid or effusion before injecting Monovisc™. Do not use the same syringe for removing synovial fluid and for injecting Monovisc™; however, the same 18 – 20 gauge needle should be used.
  • Remove the protective rubber cap on the tip of the syringe and securely attach a small gauge needle (18 - 20 gauge) to the tip. Twist the tip cap before pulling it off, as this will minimize product leakage.
  • To ensure a tight seal and prevent leakage during administration, secure the needle tightly while firmly holding the luer hub. Do not over tighten or apply excessive leverage when attaching the needle or removing the needle guard, as this may break the syringe tip.
  • Inject the full 4 mL in one knee only (do not overfill the joint). If treatment is bilateral, a separate syringe should be used for each knee.

FAQs About Corticosteroid Shots
  • What Is a Corticosteroid Shot?

    A corticosteroid shot (or cortisone injection) is a minimally invasive procedure where synthetic steroid medication is injected directly into joints, tendons, or soft tissues to rapidly reduce inflammation, pain, and swelling. They are commonly used for knee arthritis, shoulder pain, bursitis, tendinitis, gout, and more.

  • Why Do Doctors Not Like to Give Cortisone Shots?

    While highly effective, many doctors limit cortisone or steroid shots because: Overuse can weaken cartilage and soft tissue Too many injections increase risk of joint damage, infection, or systemic side effects Potential for temporary pain flare or “cortisone flare” post-injection Thus, cortisone injections are reserved for the most appropriate cases.

  • What Is the Main Reason for Corticosteroid Use?

    The primary purpose is targeted inflammation control – reducing joint pain, improving mobility, and controlling diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, bursitis, and tendinopathies.

  • How Long Does a Cortisone Shot Injection Last?

    Relief can start within 24-72 hours and typically lasts from a few weeks to several months. Duration varies by condition, joint, and individual response.

  • Are Steroid Injections Good for Knee Arthritis?

    Yes, corticosteroid injections are a proven, effective short-term treatment for reducing pain and swelling in moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis. Though not a cure, they improve quality of life and function.

  • What Is an Alternative to a Cortisone Shot?

    Hyaluronic acid injections (viscosupplementation) Physical therapy NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injections Lifestyle modification and exercise These can be used alone or in combination depending on severity and patient needs.

  • What Is the Downside of Getting Cortisone Shots?

    Temporary pain or “cortisone flare” after injection Bruising or infection risk Tendon or cartilage weakening if overused Possible increase in blood sugar for diabetics Rarely: facial flushing, allergic reaction, or local fat loss (lipoatrophy)

  • What Is the Difference Between a Cortisone Shot and a Corticosteroid Injection?

    They are the same thing. " Corticosteroid" is the medical term; "cortisone shot" is the common term. Both refer to steroid-based injections used for inflammation.

  • What Is the Success Rate of Corticosteroid Injections?

    Success rates vary, but up to 75–80% of patients experience significant pain relief for weeks or months, especially when the cause is inflammation.

  • Do Steroid Shots Make You Gain Weight?

    While short-term, local injections rarely cause weight gain, repeated or high-dose steroid shots (especially into soft tissue or multiple joints) can increase risk of fluid retention and weight gain. Systemic steroid side effects are uncommon with occasional use.

  • How Many Cortisone Shots Will They Give You?

    Most doctors limit injections to 3–4 times per year per joint to prevent long-term damage. Frequency depends on the joint, diagnosis, and your overall health.

  • How Much Does a Cortisone Shot Cost?

    Corticosteroid injection cost ranges from $100–$300 per shot in the U.S., depending on clinic, location, and insurance coverage.

  • What Should I Avoid After a Cortisone Shot?

    Avoid strenuous activity for 24–48 hours Do not submerge joint in water (baths, pools, hot tubs) for 24 hours Monitor for infection signs (redness, swelling, fever) Follow your doctor’s post-injection instructions

  • What Next if a Cortisone Shot Doesn’t Work?

    Consider alternative injections (hyaluronic acid/PRP/biologics) Physical therapy or alternative medications Consult an orthopedic specialist for surgical options if pain persists

  • What Knee Injection Lasts 3 Years?

    Hyaluronic acid (gel) injections and some new-generation regenerative treatments (like stem cell therapy) may provide longer pain relief (sometimes up to 2–3 years), but results vary.
