Have you ever ached to find products that would make your life easier? Or products that are easy-to-open or designed to be comfortable and effective?
Our goal is to encourage manufacturers to design arthritis friendly products and packaging, and to provide them with an Arthritis Friendly logo so Canadians know these products will help them. In order to ensure products will be of benefit to consumers, companies must submit their product(s) for evaluation at an independent third-party research organization, and receive a passing grade.
The Program
The Arthritis Society is proud to be able to recognize manufacturers that have designed products that are easy to use for people living with arthritis. Listed below are the products that have received an independent and favourable review. The products have been commended by The Arthritis Society and deemed "Arthritis Friendly". Organizations that wish to submit their product for consideration and review, should review the application process before contacting The Arthritis Society at arthritisfriendly@arthritis.ca.

NASONEX was the first nasal corticosteroid for use in allergies to
receive The Arthritis Society's Arthritis Friendly designation for its
device. The device is very simple for people with arthritis to open, close
and spray. With over 9 million patient-years of experience, NASONEX has
become the #1 prescribed nasal corticosteroid in Canada. It provides
relief from the annoying and painful symptoms of seasonal and year-round
allergies, like congestion, sneezing and runny nose. It is also approved
for the treatment of acute sinusitis (as an adjunct to antibiotics) as
well as for nasal polyps. NASONEX is available only by prescription, so
ask your doctor if it may be right for you. |
