HYALURONIDASE

Overview

HYALURONIDASE is a Schedule H drug.
Hyaluronidase is used together with fluids injected into the body to treat dehydration.Hyaluronidase can also be used as an aid in helping your body absorb other injected medications.Hyaluronidase is also used to help contrast dyes in your body show more clearly on certain types of x-rays or scans.Hyaluronidase increase the permeability of connective tissue through the hydrolysis of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronidase hydrolyzes hyaluronic acid by splitting the glucosaminidic bond between C1 of the glucosamine moiety and C4 of glucuronic acid. This temporarily decreases the viscosity of the cellular cement and increases diffusion of injected fluids or of localized transudates or exudates, thus facilitating their absorption.
