Adant is a drug that helps to cope with pain associated with traumatic changes in cartilage and other joints. The instructions say that the drug is essentially a prosthesis of synovial fluid. The drug restores its properties and functions. This allows you to turn the natural process of synthesis in the right direction. The drug can improve joint mobility, relieve pain and reduce inflammation. This process occurs quite quickly.
Indications Adanta
The main indications for the use of Adant are the following: osteoarthritis of the knee and Steinbrocker syndrome. These diseases are characterized by pain in the joints. In addition, there is limited mobility due to degenerative and traumatic changes in the cartilage.
The drug serves as an excellent prosthesis for restoring the natural process of synthesis. As a result of using the drug, the mobility of the joint itself improves. The pain subsides over time and the inflammation coincides. Thanks to the active substances of the drug, this happens much faster. One of the reasons for the speed of action of the drug is intra-articular administration. However, doing this at home is not so easy. Therefore, you will have to resort to the help of a doctor in a clinic.
Adant is a wonderful remedy that will relieve unpleasant pain in a short time. It will ease the effects of osteoarthritis and thus allow a person to do everything he wants. No stiffness or pain, only positive emotions. Adant is a universal remedy.
Release form
The drug has a special form of release. Adant is a medicine that is supplied as a solution. It is intended for the introduction of the composition inside. Unlike other injections, this one requires the presence of a professional. Because it is not so easy to "inject" a joint correctly.
One syringe contains 25 mg of sodium gailuronate. In addition to this active substance, there are others, such as sodium chloride, sodium hydrogen phosphate, dodecahydrate, sodium hydroxide, and others. One package may contain several ampoules. Everything depends on the packaging.
The drug is supplied as a solution. One ampoule contains 25 mg of the drug. There is no need to dilute the product with anything, it is injected into the joint in its pure form. The drug does not have another form of release. The thing is that its main purpose is to relieve pain in the joint. Ointments and tablets in this case are not as effective as the solution. Therefore, when osteoarthritis torments, it is necessary to take Adant, it will help to quickly cope with the main symptoms.
Pharmacodynamics
The pharmacodynamics of the drug is that it contains an active substance called sodium hyaluronate. Thanks to it, the drug has good chondroprotective properties. Sodium hyaluronate belongs to the class of glycosaminoglycans. It can be classified as the main component of synovial fluid. This allows it to be used as a substitute for synovial fluid in the event of inflammatory processes.
As a rule, the cause of osteochondrosis and arthrosis is a decrease in the amount of proteoglycans in the cartilage. Adant will help to correct this situation. It will restore joint mobility, relieve pain and restore the physiological properties of the synovial fluid. The product is able to "put in order" the synthesis of high-molecular hyaluronic acid.
Without special stimulation of molecules, the weight of cells will be much smaller and will differ from the norm. This mechanism is explained by the fact that the drug has a long-term clinical effect. Adant is a powerful tool in the fight against joint problems.
Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetics is based on the content of sodium hyaluronate. This active substance is the basis of the drug Adant. The drug has excellent chondroprotective properties.
This active substance belongs to the class of glycosaminoglycans. This component is part of the synovial fluid in case of inflammatory processes. Hyaluronic acid has always been a building material for the biosynthesis of proteoglycans.
The cause of osteochondrosis has always been considered to be a decrease in the amount of proteoglycans in cartilage. The drug is able to improve joint mobility and relieve pain in case of osteoarthritis. The product remarkably restores the synthesis of high-molecular hyaluronic acid. Without this stimulation, the molecules decrease in weight.
The mechanism of action is a long-term clinical effect from the use of the drug. The introduction of the drug into the joint improves its functions. Thus, the pain goes away, the manifestation of all symptoms decreases. Joint mobility improves, the affected synovial membrane is actively restored. All this is facilitated by the use of Adant.
Dosing and administration
The main method of administration and dosage of Adant depends on the stage of the disease. In general, there is a standard scheme that must be followed. Adults should be administered the drug no more than once a week. The course of treatment is a little more than a month. A total of 5 injections must be made.
The product is carefully injected into the interarticular space of the knee or shoulder joint. If pain relief in the trapezoid-carpal joint is required, this can be done in two ways. Thus, the injection is made between the fingers at the site of the first adhesion. This method is relevant for rhizoarthrosis of the II and III degrees. The lateral external route is also used. Each person decides for himself how to make the injection.
It is easier to do this under an endoscope. In any case, the dose is correctly adjusted in accordance with the severity of the disease. The symptoms that manifest themselves also play a major role. Therefore, it will not be possible to calculate the dosage and give an injection on your own. The drug Adant is administered exclusively by a doctor.

Use Adanta during pregnancy
Is it possible to use Adant during pregnancy? Before answering this question, it is worth understanding a little. So, during pregnancy, the use of any medications is prohibited.
The first trimester is especially dangerous. No means should be used during this period. This can cause harm to both the mother's body and the child. A weakened immune system "perfectly" lets through all infections and other viruses. This can lead to the development of various problems.
Therefore, it is not worth using any drugs. Now regarding this medication. The drug is used in the form of a solution, which is injected into the diseased joint. The drug does not spread beyond the affected area. Therefore, talking about its effect on the body as a whole is stupid. But, despite this, you cannot just take the drug.
It is necessary to consult a doctor. Only he can prescribe a certain dosage and explain how to take Adant.
Contraindications
Are there any contraindications to the use of Adant? Naturally, like any other drug, this medication has its own "restrictions" in use. These include pregnancy, breastfeeding, allergies to the components of the drug and childhood.
Now it is worth considering these points in order. Thus, during pregnancy, many medications should be taken with caution, including Adant. After all, it can harm the developing organism. The period of breastfeeding is also at risk. After all, the active substances of the medicine can penetrate the child's body along with milk. This is unacceptable, because childhood is also prohibited.
The main contraindication is the use of the drug in the presence of allergies. The composition of the product contains many active components. All of them can negatively affect a person who has increased hypersensitivity.
All these contraindications indicate that the drug can be used only after consultation with a doctor. In this case, Adant will not cause any harm.
Side effects Adanta
What do the side effects of Adant warn about? Some unpleasant phenomena may occur during the administration of this drug. These include redness, pain and swelling of the place where the medicine was injected. There is nothing dangerous in this manifestation, but still, the drug should be taken with special caution.
In rare cases, an allergic reaction is observed. It is often characterized by swelling and inflammation. This means that you need to stop taking the drug immediately.
Rarely, there have been reports of a person experiencing anaphylactic shock. If this occurs, the drug should be stopped immediately. In addition, the patient should be examined and given the necessary treatment.
Side effects do not occur very often. But despite this, you need to exercise some caution when taking the drug. If negative reactions occur, you should not use Adant. Failure to follow basic rules can lead to serious health problems.
Overdose
The Adant overdose itself did not manifest itself in any way. This is because people did not exceed the prescribed dose and were treated under the supervision of an experienced doctor. If you do everything yourself (which is almost impossible), there is a "chance" to get unpleasant symptoms.
There are special instructions regarding the use of the drug. It is necessary to avoid contact with disinfectants. These include ammonium salt, benzalkonium and chlorhexidine. They can create a sediment.
Animal studies have not revealed any side effects for pregnant women. But despite this, the drug should be taken very seriously. It is not recommended for pregnant girls and those representatives of the fair sex who are just going to become mothers. The same restrictions apply during breastfeeding.
Taking the medicine does not affect the control of mechanisms. It is strictly forbidden to use it for children. Because what effect Adant has on a growing organism has not yet been established.
Interactions with other drugs
Are interactions with other drugs possible? It is difficult to answer this question unequivocally. According to research, there should be no harm from using several drugs at once. Adant does not affect other drugs in any way. But is this possible?
Thus, the active substances of the medicine may well become active when interacting with similar substances. What does this mean? The components will simply enhance each other's action. This will lead to rapid relief, but may also cause overdose symptoms. In some cases, the situation may even worsen and stiffness of movement may appear.
Therefore, it is not worth using products with the same effect. This issue should be resolved with the attending physician. Preparations that do not belong to this category may well be used. But, despite the approval, this should be done under the supervision of a specialist. People have individual organisms. It is impossible to know in advance how Adant will behave, so experimenting is not recommended.
Storage conditions
What should be the universal storage conditions for Adant? First of all, you need to take into account the temperature indicators. So, they can fluctuate from 1 to 30 degrees Celsius. A very wide range. It is not recommended to freeze the product. But if there is a need for this, then it is quite possible to do this. However, after defrosting, it must be used immediately. Otherwise, the medicine will lose its unique properties.
Children should never have access to the drug. Even though it is an injection solution, it is still necessary to be careful when storing it. After all, it is easy to break the capsule. In addition to reliability, the place where the drug will be stored should be dry and dark. Medicines do not like direct sunlight, this point must be taken into account.
Dampness is also prohibited. It is also worth observing the external data of the drug. If the solution has become cloudy or changed color, then you should not take it. This can cause a negative reaction of the body. If stored correctly, Adant will last for many years.
Shelf life
The shelf life is one of the most important indicators of a medicine. Much depends on the duration of storage. But before paying attention to the long shelf life, it is worth understanding that the conditions themselves play a big role in this process.
In order for the product to last for more than one year, it must be stored correctly. A dry, warm and dark place is what is needed for any medicine. In some cases, the medicine is frozen, but after "defrosting" it must be used immediately.
Children should never know where the medicine is stored. After all, they can break the ampoule, drink the contents, get hurt by the fragments and thereby harm themselves. They can simply slightly damage the "container", and the person will not even notice anything. Naturally, such a remedy should not be used under any circumstances.
Pay attention to the safety of the ampoule and the color of the contents. If all conditions are met, the drug Adant will serve for at least 3 years.
