Overview
What is VITRASE?
VITRASE (hyaluronidase injection) Ovine is a preparation of purified ovine testicular hyaluronidase, a protein enzyme. The exact chemical structure of this enzyme is unknown.
VITRASE (hyaluronidase injection) Ovine is supplied as a sterile, nonpreserved, colorless solution with a pH of 6.4 to 7.2. Each mL contains 200 USP units of ovine hyaluronidase with 0.93 mg lactose, 0.36 mg potassium phosphate dibasic, 0.23 mg potassium phosphate monobasic, and 9.0 mg sodium chloride.
What should I talk to my health care provider before I take VITRASE?
Pediatric Use: The dosage of subcutaneous fluids administered is dependent upon the age, weight and clinical condition of the patient. For premature infants or during the neonatal period, the daily dosage should not exceed 25 mL/kg of body weight, and the rate of administration should not be greater than 2 mL per minute. Special care must be taken in pediatric patients to avoid overhydration by controlling the rate and total volume of the infusion (, ).
How should I use VITRASE?
VITRASE (hyaluronidase injection) Ovine is indicated as an adjuvant in subcutaneous fluid administration for achieving hydration.
Parenteral drug products should be inspected visually for particulate matter and discoloration prior to administration, whenever solution and container permit.
VITRASE (hyaluronidase injection) Ovine should be administered as discussed below, since its effects relative to absorption and dispersion of other drugs are not produced when it is administered intravenously.
Draw the desired amount of VITRASE (hyaluronidase injection) Ovine into the syringe to obtain the target Hyaluronidase Activity (USP Units) according to the table below.
After admixture with drug, store at 15°-25°C (59°-77°F) and use within 6 hours.

What should I look out for while using VITRASE?
VITRASE is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to hyaluronidase or any other ingredient in the formulation. A preliminary skin test for hypersensitivity to VITRASE can be performed. The skin test is made by intradermal injection of approximately 0.02 mL (4 Units) of a 200 Units/mL solution . A positive reaction consists of a wheal with pseudopods appearing within 5 minutes and persisting for 20 to 30 minutes and accompanied by localized itching. Transient vasodilation at the site of the test, i.e., erythema, is not a positive reaction.
Discontinue VITRASE if sensitization occurs.
What might happen if I take too much VITRASE?

How should I store and handle VITRASE?

Clinical Pharmacology
Hyaluronidase is a spreading or diffusing substance, which modifies the permeability of connective tissue through the hydrolysis of hyaluronic acid, a polysaccharide found in the intercellular ground substance of connective tissue, and of certain specialized tissues, such as the umbilical cord and vitreous humor. Hyaluronic acid is also present in the capsules of type A and C hemolytic streptococci. Hyaluronidase 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 promotes diffusion of injected fluids or of localized transudates or exudates, thus facilitating their absorption.
Hyaluronidase cleaves glycosidic bonds of hyaluronic acid and, to a variable degree, some other acid mucopolysaccharides of the connective tissue. The activity is measured by monitoring the decrease in the amount of an insoluble serum albumen-hyaluronic acid complex as the enzyme cleaves the hyaluronic acid component.
Non-Clinical Toxicology
VITRASE is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to hyaluronidase or any other ingredient in the formulation. A preliminary skin test for hypersensitivity to VITRASE can be performed. The skin test is made by intradermal injection of approximately 0.02 mL (4 Units) of a 200 Units/mL solution . A positive reaction consists of a wheal with pseudopods appearing within 5 minutes and persisting for 20 to 30 minutes and accompanied by localized itching. Transient vasodilation at the site of the test, i.e., erythema, is not a positive reaction.
Discontinue VITRASE if sensitization occurs.
Hyaluronidase should not be injected into or around infected or acutely inflamed area because of the danger of spreading to a localized infection. Hyaluronidase should not be used to reduce the swelling of bites or stings.
The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of hyaluronidase products. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. The most frequently reported adverse reactions have been local injection site reactions.
Hyaluronidase has been reported to enhance the adverse reactions associated with co-administered drug products. Edema has been reported most frequently in association with hypodermoclysis.
Allergic reactions (e.g., urticaria, angioedema) have been reported in less than 0.1% of patients receiving hyaluronidase. Anaphylactic-like reactions following retrobulbar block or intravenous injections have occurred, rarely.
