Cingal® Injection for Knee Osteoarthritis
Fast-acting relief from joint pain with combined anti-inflammatory and lubricating action
Cingal® Injection for Knee Osteoarthritis
What is Cingal® ?
Cingal® is a unique, clinically proven injection designed to relieve knee osteoarthritis (OA) pain quickly and effectively. It’s the only treatment that combines two powerful therapies in a single injection:
- Hyaluronic Acid (HA) – replenishes the natural cushioning and lubrication in the knee
- Corticosteroid (Triamcinolone Hexacetonide) – reduces inflammation rapidly for fast pain relief
This dual-action approach makes Cingal® an excellent option for patients who want both immediate comfort and longer-lasting improvement in joint mobility.
It contains a higher concentration of sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid) than standard OSTENIL®, plus mannitol, and offers the option to reduce the number of injections to one per treatment cycle.
How does it work?
Cingal® mimics the joint’s natural synovial fluid, improving shock absorption and movement. The added corticosteroid component acts within days to reduce inflammation, while the HA continues to lubricate and protect the joint for several months.
Key benefits:
- Fast onset of pain relief — often within days
- Long-lasting results — up to 6 months of relief
- Single, minimally invasive injection
- Excellent safety profile
- Performed under local anaesthetic
Who is Cingal® for?
Cingal® is suitable for patients with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis, especially those who:
- Experience knee pain that limits daily activities
- Have not responded to oral medications or physiotherapy alone
- Are looking for a non-surgical, in-clinic treatment option
- Prefer a rapid-acting solution with prolonged benefits
When the effect of OSTENIL® PLUS begins to wear off, if considered appropriate by your clinician, you may safely choose to have another injection whenever necessary.
What can you expect?
After a consultation with one of our clinicians, Cingal® is injected directly into the knee joint under sterile conditions. You may feel a mild pressure or tightness during the procedure. Most patients return to normal activities within 24–48 hours.
Outcomes reported in studies:
- Immediate reduction in pain within the first week
- Sustained improvement in function and comfort over 6 months
- Improved quality of life with better mobility and reduced stiffness
