In terms of pharmacological effects, ProFlex Intra Gel acts as a viscosupplement, providing lubrication and cushioning within the joint space. This helps reduce friction between the bones and alleviate pain and stiffness associated with osteoarthritis.

Clinical trials have shown that ProFlex Intra Gel can offer long-lasting relief and improve joint function in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Compared to corticosteroid injections, hyaluronic acid injections like ProFlex Intra Gel have been found to have a more prolonged effect on pain reduction and functional improvement (Jüni et al., 2015).
