Diseases of the musculoskeletal system worry many people. One of these ailments is osteoarthritis. As a result of the disease, the cartilage tissue of the joints is affected, a person moves with difficulty. Fermatron C is called upon to help combat the problem.

Characteristic
"Fermatron C" is a highly effective tool and prevents the destruction of joints. Designed to treat moderate to mild severity of osteoarthrosis. The medication is injected into the synovial space with a syringe. The duration of the therapeutic effect reaches six months. The use of non-sulfonated glycosaminoglycan in joint therapy has become a reality thanks to cutting-edge synthesis and purification technologies. Therefore, the drug with hyaluronic acid is compatible with human tissue.
Description of release form, packaging
"Fermatron C" 2.3% (3 ml) contains the active component of sodium hyaluronate with a transverse molecular bond in a proportion of 69 mg / 3ml. It is a synthetic polysaccharide, similar to the hyaluronate of the human body. Two milliliters of a medical solution contains about 20 mg of gilan. Its effect is similar to the work of synovial fluid.
Three milliliters of sterile sodium hyaluronate solution is enclosed in a syringe, which is intended for a single joint injection. Packed in a blister and a cardboard box with a yellow stripe. The syringe is treated with ethylene oxide. Designed for joint injection. Refers to the pharmaceutical group of drugs that regulate metabolic processes.

After applying the medicine, patients observe a significant improvement in the functioning of the musculoskeletal system. The rheological status of damaged tissues increases.
Sodium hyaluronate starts the reconstruction process, after which the joint begins to produce individual endogenous hyaluronate. Positive effect on the mobility of the synovial joint. Heals him. Eliminates pain. Protects the already worn out cartilage of the joint.
Pharmacodynamics is justified by the physicochemical properties of the drug and unique biocompatibility. The drug is not rejected by the body due to its similarity with human synovial fluid.
The drug is synthesized using the metabolic breakdown of Streptococcus equi. After this process, the substance is purified. The mechanism of action of hyaluronic acid is to lubricate the joints. With a strong effect on the joint, the drug includes a protective function of depreciation. This is due to the synovia cell acting as a purification filter. It passes only those molecules and cells that positively affect cartilage, and delays harmful ones.
"Fermatron C" is simply necessary in the progressive stage of arthrosis. It not only eliminates the problem, but also effectively affects the root cause of the disease. As a result, inflammation of the joints is reduced, protective functions are restored. The elasticity and viscosity of the synovial fluid appears.
