Vitrase (Hyaluronidase, Ovine) - Summary

VITRASE SUMMARY

Vitrase^®
(hyaluronidase for injection)
Lyophilized, Ovine

Vitrase is a preparation of purified ovine testicular hyaluronidase, a protein enzyme. The exact chemical structure of this enzyme is unknown. However, the amino acid sequence for the primary structure of the enzyme has been deduced from the sequence of purified peptides.

Vitrase (hyaluronidase for injection) is indicated as an adjuvant to increase the absorption and dispersion of other injected drugs; for hypodermoclysis; and as an adjunct in subcutaneous urography for improving resorption of radiopaque agents.
