Are there any side effects from collagenase ointment treatment? What to pay attention to

Collagenase ointment (Collagenase) is extracted from Clostridium histolytica or pig pancreas. It can selectively act on denatured and undenatured collagen to degrade it. Collagenase can degrade collagen fibers at the edge of the wound and has a good debridement effect, thereby promoting granulation growth, epithelialization, and accelerating wound healing. Collagenase ointment has no damaging effect on normal blood vessels and nerve tissue. Will there be any side effects from the treatment? What should I pay attention to?

Collagenase ointment was well tolerated. Possible adverse reactions include local pain, burning, and stinging sensations, and slight erythema may occur in surrounding tissues. Because each patient's condition and tolerance to drugs are different, the number of side effects that patients will experience after receiving collagenase ointment (Collagenase) treatment will also be different, and it cannot be generalized. If patients have serious side effects during treatment, they should not use other drugs without authorization. They should go to the hospital in time and seek help from professional doctors to avoid delaying the condition.

Patients need to note: Collagenase ointment is limited to the wound surface. The surrounding tissue can be covered and protected with zinc oxide paste. Aluminum acetate solution can be used to interrupt the enzyme action.

Collagenase ointment needs to be applied topically. Before using this medicine, patients should first disinfect the wound and surrounding skin with disinfectants such as hydrogen peroxide, alcohol cotton balls, etc., then clean the wound with physiological saline, and then apply collagenase ointment (Collagenase). Superficial wounds can be covered with sterile gauze.

Patients who are allergic to any of the pharmaceutical ingredients in Collagenase ointment should not use this drug for treatment. If serious adverse reactions occur, the patient should go to the hospital immediately and seek professional help.
