Iruxol Mono (Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum, Protease)

Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum, the active ingredient in Iruxol Mono, is an enzyme (collagenase) presented as a topical formulation for cutaneous use. It facilitates enzymatic debridement of necrotic tissue in chronic wounds, pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers and other areas where necrotic tissue impedes healing.

GNH India supplies Iruxol Mono as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide. The company adheres to stringent quality standards and provides regulatory documentation to support global distribution, with reliable logistics and customer support.

Indications & Clinical Uses

Iruxol Mono, an enzymatic debridement agent, is used to remove necrotic tissue in various chronic wound types.

  • Chronic wounds: accelerates removal of necrotic tissue to promote healing.
  • Pressure ulcers: enzymatically debrides dead tissue, facilitating recovery.
  • Diabetic foot ulcers: helps clear necrotic areas, supporting wound closure.
  • Necrotic tissue removal: provides targeted enzymatic breakdown of extracellular matrix proteins.

How It Works

  • Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum is a proteolytic enzyme that selectively cleaves native collagen fibers and other extracellular matrix proteins. By breaking down the structural scaffold of necrotic tissue, it loosens and dissolves devitalized tissue without damaging viable cells. The enzymatic activity creates a moist wound environment that facilitates natural phagocytosis and granulation tissue formation, thereby supporting the body’s intrinsic healing processes.

Side Effects

Topical application of Iruxol Mono may be associated with local and systemic adverse reactions.

Common Side Effects

  • Pain at application site
  • Redness or erythema
  • Swelling or edema
  • Itching or pruritus

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis)
  • Infection of the wound
  • Systemic hypersensitivity with fever

Precautions & Warnings

When using Iruxol Mono, consider the following precautions to ensure safe and effective treatment.

  • Assess wound suitability: ensure presence of necrotic tissue before use.
  • Avoid application on healthy skin or intact epithelium.
  • Monitor for signs of infection: increased pain, purulence, or fever.
  • Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to collagenase or protease enzymes.
  • Use with caution in patients receiving systemic anticoagulants or antiplatelet therapy.
  • Store at 2-8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze.

Avoid Interactions

Iruxol Mono may interact with certain medications or topical agents; awareness of these interactions helps minimize adverse outcomes.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concurrent use with other topical proteolytic enzymes: may cause excessive tissue breakdown.
  • Systemic anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin, heparin): increased risk of bleeding at the wound site.
  • Immunosuppressive therapy: heightened risk of wound infection.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Topical antibiotics applied to the same area: may reduce enzyme activity.
  • Dressings containing silver or iodine: potential inactivation of collagenase.
  • Systemic protease inhibitors: may diminish enzymatic efficacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Iruxol Mono is a prescription‑only topical enzyme used to debride necrotic tissue in chronic wounds such as pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and other areas where dead tissue hinders healing. By removing this tissue, the product helps create a cleaner wound bed that can more readily progress to granulation and closure.

The active enzyme, Collagenase Clostridium Histolyticum, selectively cleaves collagen and other extracellular matrix proteins that compose necrotic tissue. This enzymatic breakdown loosens and dissolves devitalized tissue while sparing viable cells, allowing the body’s natural healing mechanisms to take over and promote wound repair.

The dose and frequency of Iruxol Mono are determined by the prescribing clinician based on wound size, depth, and patient condition. Healthcare professionals apply the product according to their assessment and local clinical guidelines; patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions exactly.

Safety data for Iruxol Mono in pregnancy or lactation are limited. It should only be used if the potential benefit to the mother outweighs any possible risk to the fetus or infant, and this decision must be made by a qualified healthcare provider.

To request Iruxol Mono, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com indicating the required quantity. GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including any cold‑chain requirements) and necessary import documentation.

Iruxol Mono offers enzymatic debridement, which is selective for necrotic tissue and generally less painful than mechanical or surgical methods. Compared with chemical agents such as autolytic dressings, it works more rapidly, while avoiding the non‑specific tissue damage sometimes seen with sharp debridement. Choice of agent depends on wound characteristics and clinician preference.

Iruxol Mono should be stored at 2‑8 °C, kept refrigerated in its original packaging, protected from light, and must not be frozen or shaken. Before use, allow the product to reach room temperature if required, and handle with clean gloves to maintain sterility.

The prescriber directs the application method, which typically involves cleaning the wound, applying a thin layer of the enzyme directly to the necrotic area, and covering with an appropriate dressing. The dressing is usually changed according to the clinician’s schedule, allowing the enzyme to act on the tissue between changes.

Serious risks include severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, secondary wound infection, and systemic hypersensitivity that may present with fever or rash. Patients should be monitored for rapid swelling, difficulty breathing, or signs of infection, and medical attention should be sought immediately if these occur.

Iruxol Mono should not be used in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to collagenase, protease enzymes, or any excipients in the formulation. It is also contraindicated on healthy, intact skin, and should be avoided in patients where necrotic tissue is absent or when alternative debridement methods are more appropriate.
