Structure

One ampoule contains an active substance – Hyaluronidase 64 units.

Pharmacological properties

Lydase-Biopharma is a preparation containing the enzyme hyaluronidase, obtained from the testes of cattle. Hyaluronidase is an enzyme whose specific substrate is hyaluronic acid. The latter is a mucopolysaccharide, which contains acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid. Hyaluronic acid has a high viscosity; its biological significance lies mainly in the fact that it is a “cementing” substance of connective tissue. Hyaluronizad causes the breakdown of hyaluronic acid to glucosamine and glucuronic acid, thereby increasing tissue permeability and improving the movement of interstitial fluids; reduces tissue swelling, softens and flattens scars, increases the range of motion in the joints. The effect of hyaluronizad is reversible – with a decrease in its concentration, the viscosity of hyaluronic acid is restored.
