Mechanism of Action

Arthrosamid provides physical cushioning and lubrication within the joint. Recent research suggests it also produces an anti-inflammatory effect by upregulating IL1-RA in joint fluid, which helps block pain and swelling pathways.

Efficacy

Clinical studies have demonstrated significant improvements in pain, function, and quality of life for at least 12 months. WOMAC scores improved markedly from baseline to 12 months (from 45.7 to 21.9), with a 76% response rate at 6 months.

Safety and Side Effects

Most side effects are mild and transient, including arthralgia (joint pain) and swelling. Arthrosamid does not cause joint damage and is considered safe for longer-term use.

Other injection options: Arthrosamid is one of several knee injection treatments Mr Chauhan offers. Depending on your symptoms he may instead recommend hyaluronic acid (Ostenil) injections, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), or a steroid and local anaesthetic injection for faster short-term relief. To discuss which is right for you, book a consultation or review the treatment fees.
