Cingal works within the first week following the injection, for some within 48hrs. Cingal is the only option to give this rapid pain relief similar to a pure steroid, but that then continues through to 6 months, as determined by the strongest level of human clinical trials.¹
Managing inflammation fast clears the path for stronger action of hyaluronic acid. This also helps your active lifestyle to resume quicker and any physiotherapy to accompany the injection to start at a higher level.

Key Cingal Facts and Data
Cingal is trusted worldwide to effectively and safely manage your Inflammation and OA. The data is incredibly strong with over 300 patients in the study group and each patient not knowing what treatment they were getting (Cingal or placebo).¹
The key points are:
→ 59% reduction in pain at 1 week
→ 72% reduction in pain at 26 Weeks
→ 89% respond to treatment 1 week
→ 92% respond to treatment at week 26
Powerful and Safe
The formulation gives an anti-inflammatory and joint protective effect. Even though there is a steroid to Cingal, the concern of unwanted side effects is greatly diminished.² The upside is a hyaluronic acid that works immediately, whereas typically, it is around 3-4 weeks for other HA options. Repeated injections are a safe option.
Cushioning and Protection
The viscous HA also provides lubrication, shock absorption, chondroprotection, and a further anti-inflammatory effect. With the inflammatory environment managed by the steroid, the HA is allowed to work to is maximum potential and longevity, beyond 6 months

Balanced formulation
The unique micronised formulation offers full stability of the steroid and HA, which isn’t the case if they are mixed or injected into the joint at the same time. Cingal has a proven anti-inflammatory effect on inflamed cytokines (the enzymes that cause inflammation and pain during OA, causing further breakdown in the joint).
