Description
Hylenex Injection Recombinant Hyaluronidase Human Injection 1 mL, 150 Units/mL( Rx) *Refrigeration Item*
Hylenex® is a enzymatic hyaluronidase. Hylenex recombinant (hyaluronidase human injection) is a genetically designed protein used as an aid in helping the body absorb other injected medications.
Hylenex injection is commonly used in surgical procedures and medical treatments where large amounts of fluids need to be absorbed quickly. It may also be used to help with the absorption of contrast dye for medical imaging and to improve the delivery of subcutaneous medications, such as insulin, in people with diabetes. Hylenex injection is a recombinant form of human hyaluronidase that is used to improve the absorption of other injected drugs. Hylenex® is a clear, colorless, and sterile solution that is injected into a patient’s skin or subcutaneous tissue. Hylenex works enzymatically to break down hyaluronic acid, which is a component of the extracellular matrix that helps to bind cells together. This increases the absorption of injected drugs by disrupting their entrapment in the matrix, which can improve the efficacy of the drug.
Features and Benefits of Using Hylenex Recombinant Human Hyaluronidase Injection:
- Rapid dissolution of non-animal derived hyaluronic acid (HA) products to help speed up soft tissue correction or facial filler treatments
- Improved integration and absorption of the filler into the desired areas
- Cost-savings from fewer treatments compared to other methods
- Enhanced patient safety and comfort as no foreign particulates are popping
- Motion-compensated delivery of HA into the desired site to improve symmetry
- Anti-inflammatory effects
- Controlled degradation through enzyme mixing with HA products
- Fewer side effects such as lumpiness and delayed results
Hylenex recombinant is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, white to off-white, lyophilized powder for subcutaneous injection. Each vial contains 150 units human hyaluronidase. Hylenex recombinant is a preparation of recombinant human hyaluronid. Hylenex recombinant (hyaluronidase human injection). Hylenex is a prescription medicine used to treat the symptoms of Hypodermoclysis. Hylenex 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. Hylenex is also used to help contrast dyes in your body show more clearly on certain types of x-rays or scans. Hylenex recombinant is indicated as an adjuvant to increase the absorption and dispersion of other injected drugs; for subcutaneous fluid administration; and as an adjunct in subcutaneous urography for improving resorption of radiopaque agents. Hylenex recombinant is supplied as a sterile, clear, colorless, nonpreserved, ready-for-use solution. Each mL contains 150 USP units of recombinant human hyaluronidase with 8.5 mg sodium chloride, 1.4 mg dibasic sodium phosphate, 1 mg albumin human, 1.5 mg L-methionine, 0.2 mg polysorbate 80, and hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide added for pH adjustment.
