| Cost-Effectiveness Study Supports Use of EUFLEXXA(TM) by ...
BOSTON, Nov. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Ferring Pharmaceuticals presented the results of a cost-utility study supporting the adoption of EUFLEXXA(TM) (1% sodium hyaluronate) intra-articular hyaluronic acid (HA) for the relief of pain in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee at the American College of Rheumatology's Annual Scientific Meeting in Boston, MA, November 6-11. Using data from a larger trial, the study demonstrated that an intra- articular treatment course of HA (EUFLEXXA(TM)) for knee OA, as compared with non-HA therapy, provides a cost-utility benefit that supports adopting this technology. The data also show that wider adoption of this technology would result in greater financial savings to the health care system. Osteoarthritis is one of the most common diseases seen in the rheumatologist's office, costing the health care system nearly $100 billion per year.
