How it works

From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Pulmozyme). It describes the substance, not this exact product.

PULMOZYME is recombinant human deoxyribonuclease I (rhDNase), an enzyme which selectively cleaves DNA.

In preclinical in vitro studies, PULMOZYME hydrolyzes the DNA in sputum of CF patients and reduces sputum viscoelasticity.

Half-life3–4 h
Mostly cleared after≈ 17.5 hfive half-lives — our arithmetic
How the body breaks it down

Dornase alfa is expected to be metabolized by proteases present in biological fluids.
