How Entodase Products work
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.

Frequently asked questions about Hyaluronidase
Q. What is Entodase Injection used for?
Entodase Injection is a medicine that helps other injected drugs or fluids spread and absorb more easily under the skin. It's often used to enhance the effects of other injections, to hydrate patients through the skin (hypodermoclysis), or for diagnostic procedures like subcutaneous urography.
Q. Is Entodase Injection safe to inject into a vein?
No, Entodase Injection should not be given through a vein (IV) because it gets broken down quickly and won’t work properly. It is meant to be used under the skin or in specific tissue areas only.
Q. Who should not take Entodase Injection?
People who are allergic to hyaluronidase or any ingredients present in Entodase Injection should not receive Entodase Injection. A skin test may be done first to check for allergies.
Q. What are the most serious side effects of Entodase Injection?
Although rare, serious side effects of Entodase Injection can include allergic reactions (rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing), anaphylaxis-like reactions if used near the eye or by mistake in the vein, and spreading of infection if injected into an inflamed or infected area.
Q. Can Entodase Injection be used with local anesthetics?
Yes, but Entodase Injection may increase how quickly the anesthetic works and wears off, and might increase the chance of side effects from the anesthetic.
Q. How quickly does Entodase Injection work?
Entodase Injection works quickly to help other drugs spread.
Q. Can Entodase Injection cause infection?
No. But Entodase Injection should not be injected into or around an infected or acutely inflamed area because of the danger of spreading to a localized infection. Entodase Injection should not be used to reduce the swelling of bites or stings.
