Hi. Many injections are available. They are either single shot 💉 or multiple shot 💉. Depending on which you choose the cost varies. Single shot ones are typically available for 10-20000. I think your ortho has given you the mid range one. I personally like the one sold by Lupin as it is imported and around 15000. Cheaper ones are made in India but I have not got that great results with them.
