Additional information about Vitrase (Ista Pharma)
Vitrase (Ista Pharma) Indication: For increase of absorption and distribution of other injected drugs and for rehydration Mechanism Of Action: Vitrase (Ista Pharma) is a spreading or diffusing substance. It increase the permeability of connective tissue through the hydrolysis of hyaluronic acid. Vitrase (Ista Pharma) 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.
