Benefits of Entodase Injection

In Preservative

Entodase Injection is used as a preservative to prevent damage to the original form of the medicine that is given as an injection by a doctor or nurse.

It also acts as a solvent for certain medicines and helps in better absorption of the medicine in our body.

Side effects of Entodase Injection

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

How to use Entodase Injection

Your doctor or nurse will give you this medicine. Kindly do not self administer.

How Entodase Injection works

Entodase Injection is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid, a natural substance in the body that acts like a gel or barrier under the skin. By breaking down this barrier, Entodase Injection temporarily increases the permeability of the tissue, allowing fluids, medications, or contrast agents to spread and be absorbed more easily. This helps in faster hydration, better dispersion of injected drugs, and improved resorption of imaging agents, making treatments and diagnostic procedures more effective. In simple terms, it opens up the tissue to help things move and absorb more quickly.

Patient concerns

I got Lasik done on 3rd May 2016 and I'm still experiencing the post-lasik dry eye. I have been prescribed by the doctor Systane Ultra" eye drops 4 times a day and I'm willing to go for a lesser expensive alternate - Ocumoist. Please suggest if it is okay to use this alternative - as I also worry about intoxicating my eyes with preservatives."
Dr. Richa Jain
Ophthalmology
U can use it. Systane ultra is preservative free. U can use refresh tears eyedrop which is also preservative free
Can we continuously use lubricating eye drops for prolonged period of time
Dr. Richa Jain
Ophthalmology
Yes u can. . If it's preservative free
