Cingal

Cingal is the first and only approved combination viscosupplement formulated to provide the benefit of a cross-linked hyaluronic acid (HA) and a fast acting steroid to effectively treat the symptoms associated with osteoarthritis (OA).

Cingal is a powerful, first-in-class treatment that combines the benefits of Anika’s proprietary cross-linked hyaluronic acid formulation of Monovisc^®, proven to deliver up to 6 months of relief of the symptoms of OA, with a well-established FDA-approved steroid to treat inflammation and provide additional short-term pain relief.

Cingal is Anika Therapeutics’ third-generation viscosupplementation product, adding to the Company’s strong product portfolio for the treatment of knee joint pain associated with OA. Cingal extends the benefits of Anika’s proprietary HA formulation to a broader range of patients across the spectrum of osteoarthritis management.

How can Cingal help?

With osteoarthritis, there is not always sufficient natural hyaluronan in the joint area, and the quality of that hyaluronan may be poorer than normal. Cingal supplements hyaluronan to the knee joint, whilst also using steroid, triamcinolone hexacetonide, to provide short-term and long-lasting pain relief by reducing inflammation, while the hyaluronan component provides long-lasting pain relief. Cingal is given in a single shot (injection) directly into the joint of the knee.

Avoid Cingal if you:

• are allergic to hyaluronan products or to preparations containing triamcinolone hexacetonide.
• have any known allergies. You should consult your healthcare professional to determine if you are able to receive a CingalTM injection.
• have infections or skin diseases around the injection site.
