How safe is taking Dexa-tresortil for arthritis in knee?
Patient: Hello my name is joseph . I have arthritist in my knees and the specialist prescribedcto me Celebrax , and gave me two injections , one in every knee ( monovisc ) but it did not work and still have pain . Is it good to stop it nd take the dexa - tresortil . I live in Canada Doctor: Hi, the treatment of arthritis by monovisc has long being abandoned and the american association of Orthopadics do not recommend it anymore. the drug you plan to take may be either steroid or analgesic, and both do not modify the disease process, I would need an X ray of your knee to comment what stage of arthritis you have and medications can only be effective in early stages. surgery and physio remain the mainstay or treatment
