Hyaluronidase
After three years and thousands of doses, O'Brien Pharmacy has the proven experience to safely and accurately compound hyaluronidase. In an independent study, our product was directly compared to Wydase® and found to be identical in all parameters except pain, where our hyaluronidase was found to be statistically superior. No other pharmacy can give you this level of documented confidence that lowers your risks and compliance issues!

Our hyaluronidase originates from bovine testicles and is certified to meet USP/NF specifications. It is available in a vial containing 150u/ml, 10ml, 5ml and ml (the 1ml is available preserved and preservative free) that is both buffered and preserved for multi-dose use. Just like Wydase® the preservative is thimerosal and should be used with the same caution.

It has been conservatively labeled with a refrigerated expiration of 90 days from the date of compounding, although a monograph in Trissels indicates stability for 90 days at room temperature and two years refrigerated. Until further information is available, we recommend purchasing quantities that will last 4 to 8 weeks, and reordering when necessary.

Each lot is tested for sterility, endotoxins, and concentration. Lots receive alternating color-coded seals to help identify different batches. The seals are sterile and applied before the vial leaves the sterile environment.

A prescription is required to order the medication. Call us at 800-obrien-0 (800-627-4360) for details, or for more information about the services of O'Brien Pharmacy. We thank you for your trust and confidence.
