Manufacturer Narrative
Sanofi company comment dated 09-sep-2020: this case concerns a patient who received initial treatment with hylan g-f 20, sodium hyaluronate reported that it did not give the expected result.She later received treatment with prednisone and reported having face and body swelling, an absurd jowl, an allergy in the middle of the face which was a type of acne typically caused by corticosteroids and increased pressure.All these symptoms were reported as onset of a cushing's syndrome and patient also experienced stomach pain and vitamin d increased.Based on the temporal relationship the causal relationship of the device in the occurrence of events cannot be denied and based on the pharmacological plausibility and dechallenge results the causal relationship of prednisone in the occurrence of the events can be evidently established.However, further information regarding patient's current medical condition, concomitant medications and technique used while administration of injection precludes complete medical assessment of the case.

medically significant and intervention required).She said that some people presented reactions with this corticosteroid, but never as sharp as it was for the patient.It was also reported that the fan (not specified) and rheumatoic factor tests were negative, but vitamin d3 (hydroxy 25) was 110 which was above the desirable one that was up to 100 (reference value) (vitamin d increased).The clinic informed the patient that the vitamin test might have given this alteration, because it was related to some pain of this whole situation.Patient was waiting for a period to retake vitamin d and would return to rheumatologist.The patient informed that she was currently locked and in pain.The patient did recommend hylan g-f 20, sodium hyaluronate to everyone and further said that she did not want to undergo a surgery because as soon as the pain start, she would already perform the application.The patient did not understand why the doctor prescribed these drugs meticorten and biprofenid and reportedly the other times she used synvisc with other doctors, the doctor had not passed anything, nor anti-inflammatory and physician told her to take dipyrone only if she had pain.The other times the applications were very fast and this time, it was time consuming, she applied a corticosteroid together and an anesthetic and it was only when she did the application on her shoulders that the doctor had given her anesthesia before synvisc.About hylan g-f 20, sodium hyaluronate, said it really had no effect on the application.The other times the patient used it, it had a very fast effect and had done application on both shoulders, has done behind, has done on her knees twice, and had always had a very good result but this time, it had no effect, she felt like crying.It's been three months since she did the application now and had zero results (device ineffective).The patient had doubts about the origin of hylan g-f 20, sodium hyaluronate of this application.It's been 3 years since she used hylan g-f 20, sodium hyaluronate and always had the best results, always fast, on the second day after application she forgot she had the pain.This time the effect was zero and was just passing ointment on her arm, took miorrelax and novalgina because she was throbbing her shoulders and knees.The patient had said she did the application of hylan g-f 20, sodium hyaluronate on her knees and hips this time only, was going to do on the shoulders later but as she had problem with hylan g-f 20, sodium hyaluronate , she did not want to return to the clinic and she applied osteonil plus on the shoulders this time, but it product was not good as hylan g-f 20, sodium hyaluronate, because she was already with shoulder pain, did not help anything.The patient said she saw that they sell hylan g-f 20, sodium hyaluronate on the internet in any corner, so she distrusts the product, thinks that the original drug was not applied this time (suspected counterfeit product).As of (b)(6) 2020, the patient did not get any results.The result, according to the site and package insert, would be for after a month, which did not happen.The patient followed the guidelines of the post but, she had not obtained any results until (b)(6) 2020, for more than 2 full months.The patient when requested to send the numbers referring to the batches of products, she sent promptly, thereafter she received no further feedback.She sent emails, with no answers.The attendants claimed that in addition to the lot number seals, they would have to send a sample of the used syringes, which were discarded at the clinic where the procedures were performed.This information did not appear on the package inserts and on the websites that inform about the product.The patient had already been doing these procedures for more than 4 years (successfully) and this was the first time that the doctor provided the lot number stamps.If there was a possibility of a failure in the result of viscosupplementation with hylan g-f 20, sodium hyaluronate, it should be stated at least in the package insert that these items, batch number and product residue, should be kept until the result of the procedure, expected after 30 days.It was an expensive product that promised positive results, minor or major but she had a substantial expense with the procedures, with a negative result.She bought the medicine at a private clinic, where she took the money from the pocket itself, there were 4 injections where it left the loss.She mentioned that users should be warned to keep batch numbers and especially the syringe with residues of the product used.Patient was suspicious of the quality of the hylan g-f 20, sodium hyaluronate, always made the use of this product and this time did not feel the expected effect that always had.Action taken: not applicable for all the events with hylan g-f 20, sodium hyaluronate;
