important in this typically elderly and vulnerable patient population and may potentially offer a safer treatment option in the management of chronic osteoarthritis pain. Importantly, the prolonged analgesic effect resulting from a single or stepped dose, localized administration of Adlea does not seem to be associated with the systemic side effects commonly associated with NSAIDs (gastrointestinal and renal toxicities, and impaired clotting), COX-2 inhibitors (cardiovascular risks and renal toxicity), or opioids (respiratory depression, nausea/vomiting, sedation, disorientation, physical dependence, and the risk of addiction).

About Osteoarthritis of the Knee

Osteoarthritis of the knee is a common, progressive disease in which the joint cartilage breaks down. This breakdown causes the bones to rub against each other resulting in stiffness, pain, and loss of movement in the joint. In advanced stages, the pain becomes intractable and disabling, limiting patients' mobility and activities. At least five million patients in the U.S. are suffering from moderate to severe osteoarthritis of the knee and are candidates for knee replacement or aggressive non-surgical interventions to address the debilitating effects of end-stage osteoarthritis of the knee.
