Drug Details
Santyl (collagenase) is a topical medication primarily used in the treatment of burns and skin ulcers. It works as an enzyme that breaks down dead or damaged skin tissue, facilitating the removal of these tissues to promote the growth of healthy skin. By doing so, it supports the body's natural healing process and can enhance the effectiveness of antibiotics. Santyl is generally applied once daily and is intended for adult use. While side effects are uncommon, some users may experience mild redness around the treated area. It is available only as a brand-name product. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized medical advice before using this medication or any others.
